Remember when June fell for Johnny, and Loretta was just a coal miner’s daughter? Well, Flat Rock Playhouse sure does, and the first Main Stage show of their 2017 season is reminiscent of just that. To kick off the new year, the Playhouse will host nationally renown Jason Petty and Katie Deal in Classic Nashville Roadshow, a country tribute spectacular that features a live Nashville band, an authentic set, vintage costumes, classic Opry-style comedy and real country music.
From March 8th through the 18th some of country music’s greatest hits like “Golden Ring”, “Louisiana Woman”, “Crazy”, “He Stopped Loving Her Today”, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken”, and “Mississippi Man” will play live on the Flat Rock Playhouse Main Stage, just as they did for many, many years on radio stations across the country. Known for displaying the poetic simplicity of a generation of country music legends that blazed the path for those to come, Petty and Deal of Classic Nashville Roadshow also mix in family-style humor and tell the tales behind country’s legendary songs and the singers who made them famous.
Hailing from Manchester, Tennessee, Petty has thrilled audiences across the United States, Canada and Europe with his veracious portrayal of country music legend, Hank Williams. A Georgia native, Deal has traveled the nation wowing audiences with her authentic portrayal of the late country great, Patsy Cline.
Flat Rock Playhouse will take audiences back to the roots of country music with this unique tribute experience. Not to be confused with impersonation, Petty and Deal will honor the original artists by staying true to the heart behind the music. It is said that country music has always been about “three chords and the truth,” and with the help of Classic Nashville Roadshow, Flat Rock Playhouse will also be able to share this genuine, poignant form of American storytelling with audiences in the mountains of Western North Carolina and beyond.
