2023 ROSE PARADE GRAND FINALE SPECTACULAR, SPONSORED BY MANSION ENTERTAINMENT GROUP

Edgy. Classic. Country. A defining voice of music and a modern-day legend, two-time GRAMMY® winner Tanya Tucker continues to inspire artists today.

Born in Seminole, Texas, Tanya had her first country hit, the classic “Delta Dawn,” at the age of 13 in 1972. Since that auspicious beginning, she has become one of the most admired and influential artists in country music history, amassing 23 Top 40 albums and a stellar string of 56 Top 40 singles, 10 of which reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard country charts.

Tanya will be gracing the Mansion Entertainment Group float stage in the Grand Finale Spectacular that will close out the 2023 Rose Parade by performing her current single “Ready as I’ll Never Be,” a moving, inspiring song produced by Shooter Jennings. The song is off her current album and from her new documentary film “The Return of Tanya Tucker – featuring Brandi Carlile.”

In true Tanya style, she’ll be arriving at the Mansion Entertainment Group float on a Black Friesian horse! This song has made the Oscar short list for the 2023 Academy Awards, and this performance by the legendary Tanya Tucker is guaranteed to deliver an unforgettable moment in Rose Parade history that will remembered for years to come!
