Music superstars Dolly Parton and Orville Peck will appear on ‘The Wiggles’ new country album.
Now 78 and 37-year-old respectively, the legendary and contemporary country singers are set to join the Aussie children’s music group on ‘Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!,’ their new full length.
Scheduled for a March 7 release, the LP collection will also feature Dasha, Lainey Wilson, Jackson Dean, MacKenzie Porter, Lucky Oceans, Morgan Evans, The Wolfe Brothers, and the late Slim Dusty.
About the forthcoming collection, Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field, said:
“This is one of the most exciting projects we’ve ever been a part of, in fact, I’ve never spent so much time on an album before.” “Country music is all about storytelling and connection. Combining that with The Wiggles’ fun and imagination and collaborations with these legendary country music artists felt like the perfect match.”
Stateside, Parton recently announced an open casting call for ‘Dolly: An Original Musical’, the new musical based on her life. Directed by Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher, the Broadway show will follow the iconic singer/songwriter’s career and will feature a collection of her biggest hits and new material written especially for the theatrical production.
Taking to Instagram, Dolly wrote “Whether you’re chasing your dreams from a small town or you’ve spent years performing on stages across the country, I want to give you the chance to help me bring my story to Broadway – and maybe even play me.” “This show is a celebration of my music, my life and all the amazing people who’ve been with me along the way.”
