“Linda Ronstadt is a big reason I wanted to be a singer,” Yearwood said in a statement on the Country HOF website. “I’m honored to be a part of celebrating Linda and this incredible era of music that is such an important part of the history of country music.”

In addition to Yearwood and Taylor, the concert will feature Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris and Patti Scialfa.

The “Trisha Yearwood and Friends Celebrate Linda Ronstadt and Los Angeles Country-Rock” concert is being staged in conjunction with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s new exhibit Western Edge: The Roots and Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock, which is running through Sept. 1.

The exhibit “traces communities of visionary singers, songwriters, and musicians who set about reinvigorating the sounds of pop and rock by infusing elements of country, bluegrass, and folk music,” noted the Country HOF. “Fostered in local nightclubs and late-night jam sessions, the resulting musical fusion, ‘country-rock,’ made a lasting impact on popular music.”

Ronstadt, 78, retired from singing in 2011 after she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, per Billboard. Ronstadt was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019 and was one of the recipients at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2019.

In January of 2024 Walk the Line producer James Keach and Ronstadt’s manager John Boylan announced that a music biopic was in the works about the singing icon starring Selena Gomez as Ronstadt, per The Hollywood Reporter. The film is still in development.
