Petty, accompanied by an authentic four-piece country band, re-creates such Williams’ hits as: "I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry," "Your Cheatin’ Heart," "Hey Good Lookin’," "Cold Cold Heart," "Lovesick Blues," and "You Win Again," among others.
Jason Petty won rave reviews from all the major critics, including Variety and Rolling Stone. The NY Post stated it best, “At times it seems as if Petty is not just offering an impersonation of Williams, but channeling his ghost.” Another sign of recognition for Petty’s brilliant performance of Hank Williams was being honored with an Obie Award for “Outstanding Actor”. “It was like I was transported back in time to when I was playing with the original Hank. He’s that good. He’s got the look, the charm, the wit….and most of all….he’s got the voice and the talent. Every music fan will love this show!" says Don Helms, original member of the Hank Williams Band.
Jason Petty, a veteran actor and singer has performed in theatres across the United States, Canada and Europe. Petty began his career 50 miles from the farm at Nashville’s Opryland music park. Performing four shows a day, seven days a week, Petty caught the attention of the director of an upcoming musical at the Ryman Auditorium. He was hand-picked for the starring role in Hank Williams: Lost Highway, and it led him straight for the stage, where he has been ever since. Since that time, Petty appeared in National Tours of Lost Highway and Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes, a musical revue which also Petty authored.
His acting ability has afforded Petty roles in film, television and theatre.
