Ruth Lagrow (impressions of Dolly show)

Ruth looks, sounds, and acts like Dolly Parton and does so with such class that you find yourself asking, “Is it Ruth or is it Dolly?” She is a very talented and charismatic performer, a crowd pleaser and fun for the whole family.

Imagine yourself walking through the French Quarter listening to the sounds from the clubs on Bourbon Street. The band takes pride in recreating the sounds of New Orleans and everything from Rock and Roll to the tunes of yesteryear.
