Fun Fact: Did you know the absence of bar seating at Chayz Lounge is intentional?

No bar seats means no distractions from the music or the mood. Every seat offers a front-row experience, because the music deserves your full attention. And so do you.

Today, we remember the incomparable Dolly Parton. A true original whose talent, warmth, and unmistakable spirit touched generations.
Her legacy reaches far beyond the songs she gave us. She showed us what it looks like to use your gifts, your voice, and your success to make a difference.

Rest well, Dolly. Your light will continue to shine. ❤️

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

As the founder of Chayz Lounge and Chayz Lounge Radio, I’ve spent years creating spaces where music and people connect.

South Carolina Voyager recently gave me the opportunity to share a little of the journey behind it all, and where that journey is taking me next.
