Dolly Parton will receive the Americana Lifetime Achievement Award in September, Accept Virtually 
The country legend, who has been focusing on some health challenges this year, will accept her honor virtually 
“We at the Americana Music Association have long admired Ms. 
Parton's work as a singer, songwriter, entertainer and one of the greatest ambassador’s music has ever known,” Executive Director of the Americana Music Association Jed Hilly said in a statement. 
“With all of her extraordinary accomplishments—from philanthropy to television, film and business—our desire is to honor Dolly for what has always been at the heart of her legacy: a definitive songwriter and artist whose songs have shaped generations.” 
Despite some health challenges that have forced Parton to scale back her public activities this past year, she did make an appearance at the opening of her Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop in Cornersville, Tennessee back in June. 
And the Parton empire is nowhere near slowing down: her Nashville hotel, the SongTeller, is opening in September and will house two venues (one called Jolene’s) and museum, the Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum. 
Her life story, A True Original Musical, is also headed to Broadway, opening January 19th at the St. 
James Theater in New York City – a day which is also Parton’s 81st birthday.
