I Will Always Love You / Dolly Parton Tribute

*19h30 & 21h30* From Nashville to major pop stages, Dolly Parton took country music far beyond its borders. A songwriter of thousands of songs, including the essentials ‘*Jolene*’, ‘*9 to 5*’ and ‘*I Will Always Love You*’, she sang of love, heartbreak, and hope with a singular, luminous voice full of humor. Her recent passing aroused emotions reflecting her career: immense, and shared far beyond genres and generations. To pay tribute to her, Australian singer Melissa Lesnie revisits the songs that accompanied her since childhood. Nurtured by this country culture deeply rooted in Australia, she lends them her warm and sunny timbre, where sweetness blends with strength. In a quintet, with Samy Docteur on slide guitar and Antoine Beux on violin, she revisits this repertoire at the crossroads of jazz, country, and soul. A vibrant tribute that truly deserves pulling out your cowboy boots! **Melissa Lesnie** / vocals **Vincent Fabert** / guitar **Samy Docteur** / slide guitar **Antoine Beux** / violin, bass **Martin Beux** / drums
