Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks at Mineral Point Opera House August 4th
Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks: A Tribute to the Lives and Music of Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams will be performed at the Mineral Point Opera House on Saturday, August 4th at 7:30m. Tickets for this show are all general admission and cost $20. Doors will open for this show at 6:30m.
It may be impossible to crown any one performer as country musics biggest, most beloved, or most influential star, but few would argue that Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Johnny Cash would all be near the top of any list. Each broke barriers and changed country and popular music forever. Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks is a new revue that presents the best loved hits of these classic artists along with stories of their colorful lives, amazing careers, and indelible impact on American music and culture.
The Performers:
Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks stars two music veterans. Tom Waselchuk is a singer, song writer, and multi-instrumentalist who has performed for over three decades, sometimes juggling multiple projects in a variety of musical genres, but always keeping one foot planted firmly in country music. Mr. Waselchuk has toured nationally and internationally, composed for musical theatre, and produced a country-music themed holiday revue titled Tinsel & Twang: A Merry-cana Christmas.
Lindsey Giese is a dynamic singer and a consummate performer. Shes sung just about every style of popular music performing in scores of revues with her sister duo The Giese Girls and as a soloist, starring in the Fabulous Fifties Live! show in Wisconsin Dells for five seasons, and as lead vocalist on Holland America and Celebrity Cruises for four years.
The back up band for Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks is called The Dang-Its, featuring Mark Luhring on drums, Matt Rodgers on bass, Rick Nass on pedal steel guitar, and Chris Wagoner on violin and mandolin. The Dang-Its were named 2013 Country/Bluegrass Performer of the Year by the Madison (WI) Area Music Awards, and their most recent recording, A Lick of Sense, was named the MAMAs 2014 Country Bluegrass Album of the Year.
