Pauline Reese | Live @ The Dirty South | Non-Ticketed Event

“Marketing yourself as the product is a very difficult thing to do”  Pauline Reese, acclaimed songwriter, performer, real estate agent, wife and most importantly, mother of two beautiful little girls mused recently.   As a woman in the highly competitive, often male-dominated, country music industry, her life is a study in making music on her own terms and surviving.  To date, the Queen of Texas Music has been nominated for a Grammy, released six full albums, recorded two duets with Willie Nelson, performed at six Willie Nelson Picnics and at three Farm Aid festivals.  Twice-named Entertainer of the Year in Texas, five times Texas Female Vocalist of the Year in different associations, and numerous #1 Album of the Year awards add to Pauline’s ever-growing collection of accolades.  She has opened for national acts like Merle Haggard, John Cougar Mellencamp, and Tanya Tucker to name a few.  As glamorous and impressive as all this sounds, life has not been easy for her.  Pull back the stage curtain and listen as her songs paint a watercolor of her life, depicting a heart that has experienced struggles and victories, crushing sorrow and great joy.   Like the Phoenix, she rises and soars on determined, hope-fueled wings again and again.
