Annapolis music fans have a new date to circle for winter 2027: AMFM & Songbird Collective are bringing A Tribute to Dolly Parton to Rams Head On Stage on Jan. 31, 2027. The matinee show is billed as an intimate afternoon celebration of the country icon's catalog, set inside one of the city's most compact live music rooms.
Exactly when the curtain rises, though, depends on which listing you check. As reported by Eye On Annapolis, the tribute is scheduled to start at 1 p.m., while ticketing platform AXS lists the same Jan. 31 matinee as beginning at 12 p.m. The discrepancy between the two listings has not been resolved, so concertgoers may want to double-check with the venue before planning their afternoon around either time.
An Intimate Room With a Close-Up Feel
Whatever the start time turns out to be, the setting itself is well established. Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis touts itself as an intimate concert venue, with Eye On Annapolis noting the room offers seating where no seat is more than 48 feet from the stage. That close-quarters design has made the venue a draw for tribute acts and touring singer-songwriters alike, all packed under one roof in the heart of Annapolis.
The Dolly Parton tribute isn't the only nostalgia-driven act on the venue's calendar. Rams Head On Stage's own events listing also includes End of The Line: An Allman Brothers Tribute, a show also referenced in the Eye On Annapolis rundown as End Of The Line: A Tribute To The Allman Brothers Band. Together, the two tributes suggest a venue leaning into its niche as a stop for fans chasing the sound of classic acts without the arena-scale crowd.
What Else Is On the Calendar
The Dolly Parton matinee is just one entry on a packed schedule heading into the new year. Eye On Annapolis reports the venue's upcoming lineup includes Sean Hayes with Etienne de Rocher on Sept. 23, and Southern Culture On The Skids with Poi Rogers on Sept. 26, giving locals plenty of reason to check the room out well before the winter matinee arrives.
For those looking to plan ahead, Eye On Annapolis notes that a complete calendar and ticket purchases are available directly through the venue's own website. With one detail about the Dolly Parton tribute — its precise start time — still unsettled between listings, that direct check may be the safest way to avoid showing up at the wrong hour come January.
