Petty, backed by a four-piece band, not only brings Hank and his music back to life in this insightful, energetic show, but he also explores country music lore.

Petty 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. Hank And My Honky Tonk Heroes is a Must-See for all country music fans!
