On Saturday, July 27, 2013, county music legend Loretta Lynn will headline the Charlottesville Free Clinic’s 2013 benefit concert at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion. Albemarle County musician/actress Schuyler Fisk, her musical partner Tim Myers and their band FM Radio will open for Loretta.

For fifty years now, Loretta has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful‹and as culturally significant‹as any female performer you’d care to name. Her music has confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans alike. The Coal Miner’s Daughter‹the tag refers to a hit single, an album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film, and to Lynn herself‹has journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon.

Will Zooey Deschanel sing a Loretta Lynn classic at SDSU this summer?

We’ll find out when Deschanel, the star of the hit TV series, “New Girl,” performs here June 21 at the SDSU Open Air Theatre as half of She & Him, her rootsy duo with singer-songwriter M. Ward. (Trivia question: Is “New Girl” the only hit TV series to share its name with “New Girl,” a song by The Fingers, one of San Diego’s top indie-rock bands in the late 1970s and early ’80s? Why, yes, it is. Thank you for asking.)
