In the fall of 1995, Jason Petty was asked to do a reading of a play about Hank Williams for the Ryman Auditorium. Jason had been portraying Williams at Opryland in a show called 'Country Music USA.' After the reading, the executives hired Jason on the spot and 'Lost Highway' ran for 2 years at the Ryman Auditorium, which is the former home of the Grand Ole Opry. During this two year run, Jason met and became friends with many of Williams old musicians and friends.

After a national tour and a few regional theatre productions of 'Lost Highway', Jason connected with Randy Myler, original co-writer of 'Lost Highway' and they became friends. Myler was ready for 'Lost Highway' to go to New York City and in 2002, it began a 6 week run Off Broadway. The reviews were off the charts and the run was extended for another 7 months. Jason won the coveted Obie Award for his portrayal of Hank. The Obie is the Off Broadway equivalent of the Tony Award.

After completing 7 straight years of touring with 'Lost Highway', Jason decided to write a show based upon all the people he met and befriended who knew Hank. Some of those included Grand Ole Opry stars, musicians and friends and family of Williams. That first show was 'Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes.' Jason has gathered many stories and was asked to write a book...but decided to write shows honoring those grand legends of country music and their songs. It has become his life's calling to do so and will continue until they drag him off the stage.  

Jason currently has seven shows touring about the history of country music and he believes that the stories behind the artists and songs are just as important as the songs themselves. He believes it gives the audience a greater appreciation and admiration for the artists and their impact on people's lives.
