Sanford's Temple Theatre welcomes back Jason Petty, who charmed theater patrons during Temple's 2007-2008 season as Hank Williams Sr. in "Hank and His Honky Tonk Heroes."
This time, Petty is back and has developed a new show detailing the performing life of Marty Robbins.
Petty's "El Paso" recreates the western set of Robbins' 1960s television show and pays tribute not only to Robbins, but also to some of his heroes: Gene Autry, The Sons of the Pioneers and Hank Williams Sr.
"El Paso" runs March 11-28.
Petty, who began portraying Hank Williams Sr. in 1996 at the world famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., has performed in theaters across the United States, Canada and Europe. He has won rave reviews from all of the major critics including The New York Times, Variety and Rolling Stone for his portrayal of Hank Williams.
Performing with Petty are Carolyn Martin, professional singer; Charlie Vaughan, guitarist and fiddle player; Rory Huffman, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, musician and producer; Martin Parker, drummer; Eric Lewis, multi-instrumentalist including guitar, steel guitar, dobro and mandolin; and Dave Martin, bassist.
