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. 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. 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 music 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.
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.

COUNTRY ROYALTY: JASON PETTY AND CAROLYN MARTIN'S MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO HANK WILLIAMS AND PATSY CLINE
JASON PETTY'S 'THE SWINGIN' COWBOYS'- A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF THE GREAT AMERICAN WEST (FEATURING CAROLYN MARTIN AND HER WESTERN SWING BAND)
"Jason Petty is the consummate professional. He rocked Barter's audience, displaying his great talent as both an actor and a singer. Not only did he show that he can be a great Hank Williams, by far the best I've seen anywhere, but he totally captivates the audience through the songs he sings made famous by other artists. Jason and his band are authentic, honest and respectful to the originals without being imitative. Barter's audience, who know the heart and soul of country, bluegrass and folk music, found Jason Petty to be one of their own and adopted his show like it came from the mountains of Appalachia. That's saying a lot as these are the folks who come from the birthplace of country, folk and bluegrass music. I can say without hesitation that it was a joy to have Jason and his band on the stage of Barter Theatre."---Richard Rose, Producing Artistic Director, Barter Theatre, Abingdon, VA
