Exciting events and experiences happening this week in Quinte West.
It was the opening of the instantly-legendary Hank’s Lonesome Honky Tonk Tavern in Picton, ON that inspired Prince Edward County-based musician Bill Wood with the concept of creating a project interpreting the timeless songs of Hank Williams and possibly winning a residency at the popular spot. Wood, a career musician, vocalist, songwriter and recording artist (Eye Eye, Bill Wood and the Woodies, Bill Wood and Burke Carroll, Bill Wood and Chris Bennett) rarely performs cover tunes, but the music of the Williams (aka the Hillbilly Shakespeare) holds a special place in his heart, as it does in the hearts of millions of others. When he brought the idea to fellow County artist, legendary guitarist Johnny G. Mazzei (Whoa Nelly, Jerry Foster, the Cliff Divers, GT Harris and the Gunslingers, the Jeremiahs ) the deal was sealed. Soon enough, the Hankin’ Out concept was broadened to include the music of other historic Hanks— including Hank Snow and Hank Thompson. After their first standing-room-only show, Hankin’ out at Hank’s is set to become a regular monthly tradition and the duo and their take on these country classics is in demand in venues across Ontario.
