Darci Lynne once told a crowd in Tennessee that her puppet Katie lost all her money gambling in Las Vegas. Can you imagine!?
This sassy cowgirl is not your average doll. She is a roping and yodeling sensation who keeps the audience laughing with stories about catching runaway rabbits and stealing Cheetos.
While Darci stands perfectly still, Katie takes over the stage with a voice that sounds like it belongs in an old Western movie.

Reviving Two Lost Arts at Once
Darci Lynne is on a mission to bring back two “forgotten” styles of entertainment: ventriloquism and yodeling. Ventriloquism is the difficult skill of “throwing” your voice so it sounds like it is coming from someone else, and yodeling is a fast way of singing that flips between high and low notes.
By performing these two together, Darci proves she’s super talented. She is making these old-fashioned traditions feel brand new for a whole new generation of fans.
The Journey of a Little Big Shot
This incredible journey actually started years ago when Darci was just twelve years old. Back then, she was already showing the world how to bring vintage fun to a modern stage.
On a famous show for “little big shots” hosted by stars like Steve Harvey, Darci and Katie traveled all the way to England to show off their unique American spirit. It was clear even then that Darci had a special gift for making her puppets feel like real, living characters.

Keeping the History Alive
In that early performance, they tackled a famous song called “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart.” Even as a young girl, Darci could switch between her own singing voice and Katie’s country twang without missing a beat.
It’s the early spark that makes her current tours in places like Tennessee even more special. Instead of using puppets to simply show her skills, she is keeping history alive one “Yeehaw” at a time.
You have to see the videos to believe how fast her voice can move!
