 WELCOME TO TUCKERVILLE
Tuckerville is the Nashville estate of Tanya Tucker, the “bad girl” of country music. You may know her for her songs and her wild reputation, but in this revealing show we peel back the star façade to see what drives her after thirty years in the country music business – her family.
Tanya takes us inside her home to share her adventures juggling the demanding roles of country superstar, single mum to the next generation of country, and reigning queen of Tuckerville – a centre of excitement and adventure for local talents and family alike.
In Tuckerville, Tanya and the family battle pythons, coyotes, ageing and Princess Presley’s tantrums. It’s never easy, but as any true country music fan knows, it’s these trials and tribulations that make great songs, and great television.

Tanya Tucker
The first ever country music star to grace the cover of Rolling Stone, the charismatic Tanya Tucker first shot to fame at 13, scoring 8 number one singles before she could drink in pubs.

Tanya may serve dinner on the tour bus, but she always makes time to help the kids with their homework and support their fledgling country music aspirations. |
