Dolly Parton is taking her forthcoming novel, Run, Rose, Run, to new heights with a debut appearance at South by Southwest.
This year, Dolly will bring some country flair to the annual music, film and media festival in Austin, Texas, when she and co-author James Patterson sit down for a conversation about the thriller novel, moderated by former Nashville star Connie Britton, on March 18 at Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater.
After the discussion, the country icon will perform original songs from the album being released in tandem with the book, along with some of her classic hits. The show will be available to stream for free on “Dollyverse” by Eluvio.
Run, Rose, Run follows a young artist named Ruthanna who moves to Nashville to pursue her music dreams, but is followed by dark secrets from her past. The book will be released on March 7, with the companion album set to drop on March 4.
