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 to the Arts Center! 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. 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.
