This nostalgic look at Hank Williams and his influence on country music is amazing!  Don’t miss Jason’s Obie award-winning performance as he brings Hank’s music back to life in this insightful, energetic show.

Jason also pays tribute to those who influenced Hank and those Hank influenced.  Some of these artists include:  Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, The Carter Family, George Jones, Webb Pierce and more.  This show is a MUST-SEE for all country music fans!

Jason Petty does a remarkably good job of rendering Williams’ famous melodies with the silky warble and sob that recreate their touching simplicity.

“Mr. Petty rises to the occasion time after time.” - Bruce Weber, New York Times

This band goes beyond Beatle mania as the leading worldwide touring show that captures the Beatles with authentic instruments, costumes, visual impact, sound and excitement that can only be described as incredible!

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, “Abbey Road” & more.

To those people who think they have seen it all when it comes to Elvis tribute acts, this is the one that makes them do a double-take.  There is simply no way to describe Travis and his performance except “unbelievable.”

Travis flawlessly captures the essence of Elvis in his prime, and restricts his shows to the hits and ambience of 1954—1959.

Utilizing an authentic four-piece band featuring upright slap bass, guitar, piano and drums, Travis takes his audience back to a genuine 1956 concert and a chance to relive the excitement and aura of the 50’s.

“His great looks and wonderful voice, along with a vibrant live show and Elvis-like stage presence, have made Travis a favorite!”- Pete Bonner, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Hurrah’s Tunica Casino & Hotel
