Happy New Year ! Just when you thought it was time to stop celebrating
we bring you one more great reason to continue !!
On Saturday January 9th at 7:30 we will proudly present the first
Woody Hawley Concert of 2010. Back by popular demand, for the 3rd year
in a row, we will showcase a night of music dedicated to Hank
Williams. Singer/songwriters John Lilly & Rob McNurlin, renowned
fiddle player Buddy Griffin, dobro virtuoso Donnie Scott, and Mountain
Stage's Ritchie Collins will demonstrate their mastery of the songs of
legendary Hank Williams.
West Virginia has the dubious distinction of being the final
destination of Hank Williams' last road trip. Since it was said to
have happened on New Years Eve, John Lilly & Rob McNurlin thought it
it would be a good idea to choose a night close to Dec 31 and have a
party playing every Hank Williams song they could think of. After
several years of attracting a throng of dedicated fans we finally
joined forces with them and gave the event a permanent home.
This year the band will be joined by legendary steel guitar player
Kayton Roberts. Kayton was a member of Hank Snows' band "The Rainbow
Ranch Boys" for 30 years and is a master of the music of this time
period.
Tickets are $15 and $10 for seniors 60 and over. They can be purchased
online at www.theclaycenter.org , by phone at 304-561-3570, in person
at the Clay Center box office during business hours, or at the door
the evening of the concert.
Come enjoy the cabaret atmosphere and beautiful sound system in the
capable hands of Mountain Stages' Paul Flaherty. You can have a glass
of wine (or in the this case more appropriately a beer), relax, and
listen to some great music. Hope to see you there !
Great Sound, Great Music, Great Atmosphere.
Take care,
Ron Sowell
