COUNTRY MUSIC HOW IT USED TO BE...HOW IT OUGHT TO BE!
He's traveled Hank Williams' Lost Highway from Nashville to Broadway...and now he's bringing his award-winning sounds of the country music legend out on the road for 2006-2007.. Jason Petty has won critical acclaim all over the country for his surreal performance as country legend Hank Williams in the off-Broadway hit Hank Williams' "Lost Highway'". So much so that his performance racked up 5 nominations in New York's award ceremonies for Best Actor. Now, this multi-talented singer/actor/musician is bringing his own tribute show out on the road for 2005-2006. This new show is called "Hank and my Honky Tonk Heroes" and showcases Jason's uncanny ability to capture the sounds of Hank Williams. The show takes audiences back in time to the very beginnings of country music and pays homage not only to Williams, but also to other country legends, such as Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, Webb Pierce, George Jones, and many more. Jason takes us on an insightful journey into the life of Hank Williams as only Jason can. In 8 years of research on this great man, Jason has had the chance to speak with friends, band members, family, biographers and other Opry legends who knew Hank.
It is through this research that Jason really grasps the genius of the man....and the pitfalls that cost him his life at the young age of 29. Since Jason, as an actor, has actually stood in those legendary shoes, only he can bring the audience in close enough for a rare insight into the mind of this talented and quite lonely man, Jason re-creates such Williams' hits as "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", "Your Cheatin' Heart", "Hey Good Lookin' ", "Kaw-Liga", "Cold Cold Heart", "Lovesick Blues", "You Win Again" and many more. But this astonishing show is more than just a Hank Williams tribute...thus the title. Jason pays tribute to stars that influenced Hank and those stars that Hank influenced. Backed by an authentic four-piece band, "Hank and my Honky Tonk Heroes" will make you smile, make you cry, and make you clap your hands and stomp your feet with excitement.
