Vintage performance footage from the Golden Era of Country Music and a live performance by singer/songwriter and Sirius Radio "Outlaw Country" DJ Dallas Wayne
Many years ago, a spectacular breed of superhumans came from a magical Neverland beyond the sunset. Armed with musical instruments, finely stitched jewel encrusted clothing and gravity-defying hairstyles, their mission was to console and liberate the common man by giving voice to his struggles. While their names sound homespun- Hank, Webb, Lefty, Ernest, Dolly Connie, Porter, Buck, Loretta, George, Johnny- their music transcended the earthly emotions, tragedies and triumphs they sang about. Lucky for us, some of their performances were captured in motion picture extravagnazas and television spectaculars. Join us for rarely-seen performance footage of Country Music giants in their heyday, narrated by their contemporary acolyte and torchbearer, singer/songwriter and celebrated Sirius Radio "Outlaw Country" DJ, Dallas Wayne. It will be followed by a live performance by Wayne, whose songs will not only take you back to the glory days of country music, but also give you hope for its future. Refreshments available.
"Wayne continues to write songs that better-known players in the world of country music should bow before." -David Greenberger, NO DEPRESSION
"I'm telling you, this old boy should be in the f*cking Country Music Hall of Fame." -Crispin Sartwell, NEW YORK PRESS
