Stacey Whitton Summers has been a professional tribute artist since 1994, a Legends in Concert veteran of more than 30 years, and is the only Legends performer ever cast as Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Katy Perry, AND Marilyn Monroe. She has shared the stage with Dolly Parton, performed as Shania Twain for Shania Twain herself, sung at the National Finals Rodeo and Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Birthday Bash in Las Vegas, and performed for U.S. troops at the U.S. Naval Base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
Gretchen Wilson burst onto country music in 2004 with “Redneck Woman,” a Grammy-winning #1 hit that defined an era of party-anthem country music. Her debut album “Here for the Party” went five-times platinum and is one of the best-selling debut albums by a female country artist in history. The catalog (including “Here for the Party,” “All Jacked Up,” “Home Wrecker,” “When I Think About Cheatin’,” and “California Girls”) connects with virtually every demographic that responds to outlaw country, country-rock, party-anthem country, and modern Southern rock, from longtime Gretchen fans through younger audiences who came to her through country-radio rotation, line-dance circuits, and the broader “Muzik Mafia” Nashville scene she helped launch.
Stacey Whitton Summers goes beyond a standard tribute approach in three meaningful ways that virtually no other Gretchen Wilson tribute artist can match. First, the credentials: Stacey has been a professional tribute artist since 1994, has been a Legends in Concert veteran for more than 30 years, and is the only Legends performer ever to have been cast as Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Katy Perry, AND Marilyn Monroe. Second, the direct connections to the country greats: Stacey has shared the stage with Dolly Parton, has personally performed as Shania Twain for Shania Twain (Shania visited the Vegas strip specifically to see Stacey perform), and shared stages with Dom DeLuise and other entertainment legends. She earned a finalist position on ABC’s “The Next Best Thing” TV competition and appeared on MTV’s “Taquita and Kaui” and E! Television’s “Country’s Most Shocking.” Third, the production-grade transformation skill: Stacey describes herself as a “transformation artist” rather than an impersonator, with her own makeup, wig design, hand-made costumes, comedy, and voice manipulation that go far beyond what most tribute artists deliver. She is a singer-songwriter-actress with a fine-arts degree in Opera and Theater and four of her own original CDs (her most recent, “Good Thing Goin’ On,” was co-written with Rock Legend Delaney Bramlett).
Gretchen Wilson’s peak touring years are behind her. While she still records and performs occasional appearances, the heyday of “Here for the Party” stadium-and-rodeo runs is in the rearview mirror, and buyers wanting the Redneck-Woman party-anthem experience for fairs, festivals, casinos, and rodeo events now look to credentialed tributes. Stacey Whitton Summers is genuinely one of the most credentialed options in the country in any female country tribute category. For event organizers, that means less guesswork: this is a vetted, family-friendly headliner with verified Legends in Concert venue credentials in Las Vegas, Branson, Myrtle Beach, and casino theaters worldwide, plus National Finals Rodeo, Dale Earnhardt Jr. event credentials, and Diego Garcia U.S. Naval Base performance history.

Stacey Whitton Summers is one of the most credentialed female tribute artists in the country. A Reno, NV native who hails from a musical family of eight, Stacey has been entertaining audiences since age seven. Her childhood was filled with classical voice, theater, saxophone, and flute. After earning a Fine Arts Degree in Opera and Theater, she signed her first recording contract and was approached by the producer of Legends in Concert, who cast her as Shania Twain in the Las Vegas-based production. That was in 1994, and she has been with Legends in Concert ever since, more than 30 years in the most prestigious tribute production company in the world.
Stacey is the only performer in Legends in Concert history ever to have been cast as Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Katy Perry, AND Marilyn Monroe. She also performs as Madonna and Pat Benatar, and has appeared in Legends in Concert productions in Las Vegas, Branson, Myrtle Beach, and casino theaters around the world. Stacey describes herself as a “transformation artist” rather than an impersonator, designing her own makeup, wigs, and costumes by hand, and combining comedy, voice manipulation, and Las Vegas-style production polish into a full character recreation. Her career credits include shared stages with Dolly Parton and Dom DeLuise, plus the unique distinction of performing as Shania Twain for Shania Twain herself (Shania visited the Vegas strip specifically to see Stacey perform).
Beyond her tribute work, Stacey is a singer-songwriter-actress in her own right. She has released four of her own original CDs (her most recent, “Good Thing Goin’ On,” was co-written with Rock Legend Delaney Bramlett of Delaney & Bonnie fame). She has starred on ABC’s “The Next Best Thing” (finalist), MTV’s “Taquita and Kaui,” and E! Television’s “Country’s Most Shocking,” and has appeared as a featured artist on more than 40 variety TV shows. International touring credits span Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Florida, Myrtle Beach, Branson, the Bahamas, Singapore, Australia, Canada, and many parts of South and Central America. She sang at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) and Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Birthday Bash in Las Vegas, and one of her highest honors was performing for U.S. Troops at the U.S. Naval Base on the private island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Stacey also designs a vintage-style accessory line, “Whitton De Fleur,” sold in Legends in Concert gift shops and online.
Gretchen Wilson tributes with this level of credentialing (a 30-plus-year Legends in Concert veteran with a documented Shania-saw-Shania endorsement and full transformation-artist production) are essentially nonexistent. Stacey Whitton Summers is the premier option in the category. TSE Entertainment also represents Stacey for her other tribute personas, and can recommend other female country or 1990s/2000s country-rock tribute options nationwide for buyers exploring alternatives.
That means you are not locked into a single option. We help match the right act to your event based on practical factors that actually affect success:
We have booked Gretchen Wilson and female country tribute acts nationwide and internationally, and every option we recommend is vetted and event-proven. If Stacey Whitton Summers as Gretchen Wilson is not the perfect fit, we will quickly suggest comparable options that are.
Pricing depends on the event date, location, routing, travel, production requirements (band, sound, lighting, costume changes, character selection), and the overall scope of the engagement. The fastest way to get a real number is to request availability with your event details.
Popular dates can tighten up quickly, especially for peak fair and festival weekends, casino entertainment programming, rodeo and Western event programming, country-themed corporate programming, and high-demand corporate dates, so early inquiries usually create better artist and budget options.
Yes. The act is regularly booked for corporate events, charity galas, private parties, theaters, casinos, fairs, festivals, weddings, and other special events, depending on the event setup and production needs. Stacey’s 30-plus years of Legends in Concert production polish make her especially well-suited to major corporate galas and casino main showroom programming.
Three things set Stacey Whitton Summers apart. First, the credentials: Stacey has been a professional tribute artist since 1994, is a Legends in Concert veteran of 30-plus years, and is the only Legends performer ever cast as Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Katy Perry, AND Marilyn Monroe. Second, the direct connections to country greats: Stacey has shared the stage with Dolly Parton and Dom DeLuise, and has personally performed as Shania Twain for Shania Twain herself (Shania visited the Vegas strip specifically to see Stacey perform). Third, the transformation-artist approach: Stacey designs her own makeup, wigs, and costumes by hand, combining comedy, voice manipulation, and Las Vegas-style production polish that goes well beyond standard tribute presentation.
Yes. Stacey performs six tribute characters at full Legends in Concert quality: Gretchen Wilson, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, and Katy Perry, plus Pat Benatar. Buyers can program the event as a solo Gretchen Wilson show, request multiple-character segments in a single evening, or book the multi-character “Divas N Diamonds” revue (Stacey performs with her sister Jaime, who portrays Jessica Rabbit and sings classics from Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Etta James, and Peggy Lee). Discuss multi-character options during booking.
Gretchen Wilson’s catalog connects with country music fans, modern country and country-rock audiences, longtime Gretchen Wilson fans, multi-generational country crowds, rodeo and Western-event crowds, biker rallies, outlaw-country audiences, and broad party-anthem country listeners. The show plays especially well at fairs, festivals, casinos, rodeos, country-themed corporate events, and line-dance programming. Stacey’s additional NFR (National Finals Rodeo) credential makes her a strong fit specifically for rodeo and Western event programming.
Yes. While Gretchen Wilson’s catalog is famously rowdy (“Redneck Woman,” “All Jacked Up”), Stacey delivers the show with the production polish and audience-appropriate staging that comes from 30-plus years of Legends in Concert venue work. The act is bookable for family-friendly fairs, festivals, casino main showrooms, and corporate events.
Yes. If Stacey is unavailable or not the best fit for your event, TSE can recommend other vetted Gretchen Wilson, female country, and 1990s/2000s country-rock tribute options based on budget, location, and event style.
Submit an inquiry with your event date, location, event type, and which character(s) you would like Stacey to perform (Gretchen Wilson, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, multiple characters, or the Divas N Diamonds revue), and TSE can help confirm availability and provide pricing guidance.
