HANK & MY HONKY TONK HEROES Comes To El Portal 5/14-24
Weddington Street Productions presents a "must see" country western show Hank and my Honky Tonk Heroes at the historic El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood on May 14-24. In this nostalgic look at Hank Williams and his influence on country music, Nashville veteran and Off-Broadway Obie Award winning star Jason Petty uncannily recreates the sound and the soul of Hank Williams' music.
Jason Petty made a striking impression at the Off Broadway Little Shubert Theatre when he starred in Hank Williams: Lost Highways and was nominated in 2003 for an astonishing seven awards and winning an Obie Award for Outstanding Performance and a Drama League Honor for Distinguished Performance.
Jason Petty has performed Hank Williams music to packed audiences all over the United States from Nashville to New York. Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes, a musical revue, is an unforgettable live show which turns back the clock 50 years to experience the sounds of Hank Williams, his heroes and those he influenced. The music of the legends, an authentic country four-piece band and Jason Petty deliver the heart and soul of country music with no less than 20 country classics from I'm So Lonesome, Hey Good Lookin' and Wabash Cannonball to Kaw-Liga, Jambalaya, Your Cheatin' Heart and more.
With his similar lanky, angular good looks of Williams, Petty has honed his singing to an extraordinary perfection. Petty has done extensive research into The Life of Hank Williams and even visited Hank's boyhood home, studied rare film footage and talked with innumerable people who knew the man. Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes plays 10 performances May 14 -24.
