Every night, Miko Marks gets to pay tribute to three of the most influential women in country music history. Marks is one of two singers headlining the nation-spanning tour “Trailblazing Women of Country: From Patsy to Loretta to Dolly,” which honors the songs of country icons Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton. “I was heavily influenced by those three women growing up,” Marks said. “It’s a blessing to be able to honor them through their songs, through their stories and through their music.”
