Breast cancer survivor and local musician, Nena Anderson presents a Dolly Parton tribute concert, look-alike contest, and breast cast exhibit/auction on Valentine’s Day (February 14, 2025) at Belly Up in Solana Beach. A portion of ticket sales, a donation drive, and an online auction will benefit the Keep A Breast Foundation's (KAB) 25th Anniversary. Celebrating her “cancerversary,” Anderson created this event to bring awareness about breast cancer through art while showcasing local artists, especially (but not solely) women. The concert features Dolly’s hits from the 60s to today, performed by Nena Anderson, Brawley, and the Sure Thing Band, with special guest vocalists and musicians. Dolly Parton, known just as widely for her figure as for her music, inspires this event with her decades of longevity as a performer, songwriter, entrepreneur, fashion icon, and philanthropist. A Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers look-alike contest involves the audience and performers, with prizes for the best Dolly, Kenny, couple, and honorable mention. Anderson’s curated group of guest vocalists and musicians span various music genres and experience, including Rap, Country, R&B, World, and Pop. All are established recording artists, songwriters, and touring musicians. Featured guest vocalists are (alphabetically, photos above L-R): Emily Afton, Matt Axton, Beebs, Faith Belle, Kimmi Bitter, Adrian Demain, Rheanna Downey, Molly Jenson, Laura Levenhagen, Natal1e, Tim Petersen, Jess Roberts, Whitney Shay, and Laura Jane Willcock, and featured instrumentalists Kateland Raftery and Gayle Skidmore. Anderson sings during the show and leads the two bands backing the guest vocalists. Local honky-tonk heroes and multiple San Diego Award nominee, Brawley, starts the night off with Parton’s earlier career hits, including Porter Wagoner and Parton songs. They are followed by the Sure Thing band, a group of all-star session/tour musicians who will set the groove for Parton’s pop and r&b hits. The exhibit and auction consist of seven painted plaster breast casts, a signature of Keep A Breast. The casts feature busts of women involved in the production of the 2025 event and will be displayed at the concert. They will be auctioned online beginning February 14, with the closing date and reception to be announced. For the donation drive, individuals can make a tax-deductible donation towards VIP ticket packages. Local businesses and national brands contribute in-kind or cash in exchange for global recognition through KAB’s extensive social media and online presence.
