Jason Petty presents 100 Years of Hank Williams

January 26 @ 2:00 pm

Jason Petty presents 100 Years of Hank Williams Franklin, Tenn.

Jason Petty celebrates Hank Williams 100th birthday with his critically acclaimed tribute, “100 Years of Hank.” Williams penned over 400 country songs depicting the trials and tribulations of the common man and woman. Among his timeless classics are “Hey Good Lookin’,” “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Jambalaya” and “I Saw The Light.” Williams is credited with creating the style that would influence other artists such as Patsy Cline, George Jones, Merle Haggard and Elvis Presley. He is considered the single most influential person in country music history and is enshrined in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Over the years, award-winning musician and actor Jason Petty has had the chance to meet and become friends with those who knew and played with Williams. They shared their stories of what Hank and his music meant to them and to the history of country music. Jason has translated those stories into a beautiful mosaic of live music and storytelling, and will take you down history’s memory lane while expertly weaving Williams’ story of triumph and tragedy in this 90-minute tribute.
