The voices and music of two of America’s favorite country singers will again be heard soaring through the hills of East Tennessee when Country Royalty: A Tribute to Hank Williams and Patsy Cline, presented by Monroe Area Council for the Arts (MACA), take the stage at Hiwassee College in Madisonville on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Country Royalty launches MACA’s 2011-2012 Performance Series and is supported by funding from the Tennessee Arts Commission.
Singers Jason Petty and Carolyn Martin, the stars of Country Royalty, have received rave notices wherever the show has played. As Hank Williams, Jason Petty re-creates the role that won him the 2003 Obie Award for Outstanding Actor in “Hank Williams: Lost Highway,” as well as favorable reviews from such publications as The New York Times, The National Review, and Rolling Stone. Grammy-nominated Carolyn Martin’s portrayal of Patsy Cline has been described as breathtaking and jaw-dropping. She received the Western Artists’ Female Vocalist of the Year awards for 2008 and 2010, and was a 2011 Texas Western Swing Hall of Fame inductee.
