The daughter of Gram Parsons, renowned as the "father of country rock," Polly serves as the driving force behind preserving and advancing The Gram Parsons legacy. One of her notable accomplishments is the production of the tribute concert series, "Return to Sin City: A Tribute to Gram Parsons." This two-day, sold-out event featured stellar performances by artists such as Keith Richards (Rolling Stones), Norah Jones, Dwight Yoakam, Jay Farrar (Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt), Lucinda Williams and Jim James (My Morning Jacket).
