Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes
With hits such as “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “Hey
Good Lookin’,” “Cold Cold Heart,” “Lovesick Blues” and more, Jason Petty’s
Obie Award-winning performance brings Hank Williams’ timeless music to life.
In “Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes,” Petty gives audiences a personal look at
Williams growing up, how he became famous, and who influenced the legendary
singer /songwriter. Not only will the great songs of Hank Williams Sr. be
performed but songs from some of Hank’s influences including Jimmie Rodgers,
Carter Family, Roy Acuff and Ernest Tubb, as well as those influenced by
Hank such as George Jones, Elvis and Alan Jackson.
With Petty on acoustic guitar, accompanied by a fiddle, mandolin, steel
guitar and electric guitar, Hank’s music is revealed as the epitome of
country music…three chords and the truth. New York’s Theatre District was
astonished by Petty’s portrayal of Williams, the nostalgic show won rave
reviews and ran for nine months to sold-out audiences. Going back to the
beginning when Hank Williams was given his very first guitar, all the way to
how the legend made a lasting impression on popular music, “Hank and My
Honky Tonk Heroes” keeps audiences clapping their hands and stomping their
feet all the way through.

Irish Christmas in America
Now in its 16th season, Irish Christmas in America brings together
world-class musicians, singers and dancers in an intimate and engaging
performance rich in history, humor, and boundless energy. Pensive ballads,
lively instrumentals and thrilling Irish dance, plus evocative photographic
images, create an enchanting start to the holiday season.
Produced by Oisín Mac Diarmada of the award-winning lrish group Téada, the show features TG4’s Traditional Singer of the Year, Séamus Begley, and the remarkable vocal talents of Sligo’s Niamh Farrell. With lively instrumental tunes on fiddle, flute, uilleann pipes and harp, and thrilling Irish old-style dancing by Samantha Harvey, this is a holiday celebration to remember.
This family-friendly performance offers a view into some of the rich
historical traditions of the Emerald Isle. The show was originally conceived
to share traditional, if sometimes unknown, seasonal Irish customs in a
heartfelt demonstration of how music kept early Irish immigrants close to
home as they made their way in the new world.
