Tucker and her band will play two 50-minute sets during a concert Nov. 14 at Sheraton Gardens, a park adjoining the Sheraton Kampala Resort Hotel. Tucker’s father has been monitoring Bob FM’s website to get a feel for listeners’ tastes through their requests. “It’s a lot of ’80s and ’90s country music — Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson — with some more contemporary country, people like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw,” he said.
Tucker has worked up a set list that includes classic country such as Merle Haggard’s “Silver Wings” and Patsy Cline’s “Walkin’ After Midnight”; songs from her four albums; and selections she sang on “The Voice” like “To Make You Feel My Love,” “Done,” and what has become a signature song of sorts for Tucker, “How Great Thou Art.”

Her Kampala show also will feature songs from her yet-to-be released album “Steel,” including her current single “More Than Just a Word.”
Bob FM has played Tucker’s music in heavy rotation during the past few weeks to promote the festival, which also will include children’s activities and a mud-wrestling contest whose participants, judging from a promotional poster, are men.
Johnny Tucker is looking into the possibility that his daughter’s stateside fans might be able to watch her Nov. 14 concert online via streaming video.
Her local fans will have at least two opportunities to see her in person in upcoming weeks. She will play a Nov. 21 concert for Therapy CenterStage Productions at Seventh & James Baptist Church and a Dec. 15 Waco Hippodrome show with Waco country musician Kaley Caperton.
But she’s focused for the show immediately in front of her and is looking forward to what promises to be a novel experience, even if Ugandan food might be different.
“If they want me, I’ll give them my all,” Tucker said. “I just hope I don’t have to eat a grasshopper.”
