LUMBERTON — OBIE Award winner Jason Petty is set to bring “Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes” to the Carolina Civic Center in downtown Lumberton on Feb. 3 at 7 p.m.
The show celebrates a musician known as one of music history’s most influential singer/songwriters. Acclaimed performer and musician Jason Petty, along with his four-piece band, gives audiences a personal look at Hank Williams growing up, how he became famous, the people who influenced the legendary singer/songwriter and performers today who are influenced by Williams.
Not only will the songs of Hank Williams Sr. be performed, but audiences will also be treated to a selection of songs from some of Hank’s influences (including Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, Roy Acuff and Ernest Tubb) and those who were influenced by Hank (including George Jones, Webb Pierce, Faron Young, Elvis and Alan Jackson). Some of the songs included in the performance are “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” “Wine Me Up,” and “Midnight in Montgomery.”
