Hank And My Honky Tonk Heroes With Jason Petty

Other Entertainment Country Live Music

What’s Happening?

After completing 7 straight years of touring with “Lost Highway,” Jason Petty decided to write a show based upon all the people he met and befriended who knew Hank. Some included Grand Ole Opry stars, musicians, friends, and the Williams family. That first show was “Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes”; Jason gathered many stories and was asked to write a book…but decided to write shows honoring those grand legends of country music and their songs. It has become his life’s calling to do so and will continue until they drag him off the stage.  Jason currently has seven shows touring about the history of country music, and he believes that the stories behind the artists and songs are just as important as the songs themselves. He thinks it gives the audience a greater appreciation and admiration for the artists and their impact on people's lives. He harkens back to his grandparents’ farm in his memory while on stage and tries to bring that sense of family to all his shows.
