TV and West End star Sarah Jayne will lead a glittering celebration of country music at Coventry Building Society Arena next year.

Star of The Dolly Parton Experience, recently broadcast to huge TV audiences in the USA, Sarah will perform some of Dolly's many classic hits when the Country Superstars - Dolly Parton and Friends Tribute Show arrives at the venue’s auditorium on May 17, 2025.

The show will also feature hits by other country legends such as Kenny Rogers - as performed by award-winning impersonator Andy Crust - as well as vocal and visual tributes to Patsy Cline, John Denver, Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, Tammy Wynette, Garth Brooks and Shania Twain backed by The Country Superstars Band.

Sarah and Andy are renowned for being among the best impersonators in the world and have both received ringing endorsements from Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

Appearing on BBC’s The One Show, Dolly Parton said: “I wish them the best and I appreciate them doing Dolly and Kenny so well for so long,” while Kenny described them as “Europe’s leading Dolly and Kenny impersonators”.

Sarah Jayne has been performing as the Queen of Country for over 30 years and even got to join Dolly on her last two world tours by entertaining her VIPs at London’s O2 Arena.

"For the very first time, we are excited to bring 11 Country Superstars to Coventry Building Society Arena to celebrate the best in country music,” she said

“Expect excellent impersonations, an awesome fully live Country band and hit after hit. Join us for a memorable night out!"

The award-winning cast has performed at Leicester Square Theatre in London’s West End and at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville’s Broadway where Sarah and Andy received tribute artist awards in a presentation broadcast on state TV channel WTVF.

Each artist on the bill has devoted countless hours of practice to perfect their craft and ensure they look and sound just like the country stars they imitate.

Every minute detail is taken into consideration from the script, choice of songs, hair, make-up and mannerisms to professional costumes, props and video backdrops.

Their repertoire of songs will include 9 to 5, The Gambler, Islands in the Stream, Annie’s Song, Stand by Your Man, Ring of Fire, Crazy, Always on my Mind, Blanket on the Ground, Jolene, Lucille, Here You Come Again, That Don’t Impress Me Much, Walk the Line and many more.

Jenni Ford, Director of Sales & Marketing at Coventry Building Society Arena, said: “We are delighted to be in a position to announce this show. It really is a must-see for country music buffs.

“For Dolly and Kenny to sing the praises of Sarah and Andy shows just how talented they are as impersonators and how life-like their performances are.

“We can’t wait for the show to come around and are confident country music fans of all ages will be in their absolute element.”
