Two Sisters, One Night, and "Strawberry Wine"
Some shows aren't just concerts — they're reunions. On June 30, 2017, Deana Carter took the stage at the historic Lincoln Theater in Marion, Virginia — the same stage where PBS films "Song of the Mountains." Two sisters, estranged for over five years, sat side by side that night, brought back together by a woman one of them had idolized since childhood.
"Strawberry Wine" hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart back in 1996 and won CMA Song of the Year in 1997. That night in Marion, it did what it always does, and more. A fan wrote us afterward:
"My sister and I have been estranged for five-plus years, but we came together tonight for your show at the Lincoln Theater. As my childhood idol, it was a dream realized. I loved your candid stories about your life. You are exactly as I imagined: smart, humble, beautiful, and down-to-earth. I appreciated the nostalgia. I sang every song word for word and was transported to a simple, innocent, green time in my life. I loved it. I loved that your son is traveling with you—what an amazing opportunity for bonding! Thank you for coming to our tiny community, and thank you to your manager and agents for making a girl's dream come true."
That's the part of this business people don't always see. We book the dates and handle the logistics, but what actually happens in that room — a family healing, a childhood dream coming full circle — that's the real payoff. Music heals. Music empowers. It's the greatest gift, and we're grateful every time we get to be part of delivering it.
It's why we do what we do.
