Carlene Carter returns to Bend

Published 12:00 am Thursday, October 4, 2018

Carlene Carter — singer-songwriter of such ’90s country hits as “I Fell in Love” and “Every Little Thing,” daughter of June Carter Cash and stepdaughter of Johnny Cash — has kept busy since re-emerging on the music scene with her 2008 album “Stronger” (her first studio set in 13 years at the time). In the years following that album’s 2014 follow-up, “Carter Girl,” she struck up a productive partnership with rocker John Mellencamp, culminating in last year’s “Sad Clowns & Hillbillies” album and tour (which landed at Les Schwab Amphitheater in June 2017). Carter, who recently moved back to Nashville after a decade in California, will be on her own at her next Bend appearance at the Tower Theatre on Sunday, capping a busy weekend for the historic theater. Local folk/roots band Honey Don’t, fresh off the Bend Roots Revival, will open the show.

Carlene Carter: 7:30 p.m. Sunday; $27, $37 or $47 plus theater preservation fee; Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend; towertheatre.org or 541-317-0700.
