Songs and stories of beloved hits such as “9-to-5,” “Born to Run,” and “When Will I Be Loved” will be shared, along with some of GCBR’s own award-winning material. “We will be doing our own twists on the trio’s biggest hits,” said singer/guitarist Beth Kille. “And while we try to stay true to the original versions, we also will be adding our unique Gin, Chocolate & Bottle Rockets flavor; as well as a video backdrop to add an extra layer to the experience.”
The idea for the show came about when Beth saw Chris Collins’ John Denver tribute in 2019, and learned how, for him, tribute work opened up opportunities to reach a wider audience. So Beth brought it up to band mates Jen Farley and Shawndell Marks.
“We landed on this idea of paying tribute to the Trio,” explained Beth. “It seemed like a natural fit since we already had songs by Dolly and Linda in our repertoire. Also, they are three strong independent women with different musical backgrounds, so that resonated with us as well.”
After the pandemic postponed what was to be a 2020 debut, the group is looking forward to finally be able to share what they’ve been working on for two years. “I'm super excited about it but, of course, a little nervous,” admitted Beth. “It's been a lot to tackle during a very weird time in the world, but we love the challenge and are looking forward to sharing it for the first time.”
The band hopes that the idea will grow from here and that they can sell the idea to performing arts centers in Wisconsin and beyond.
