Steeler w/Jason Petty's Hank William's show?

Post by Jim Cohen »

I see that Jason Petty will be bringing his Hank Williams show to the Philadelphia area in September. Who is on steel with them these days? I think it used to be Russ Wever but I'm not sure that he's still playing that show. Lemme know!

Jimbeaux,
Yeah, I haven't been out with Jason for a good
several years except to sub for his regular guy.
That would be Eric Lewis, of Memphis. I first met
Eric when he would travel up to Scottys in St Louis
for steel lessons in the '90's. He plays most all
stringed instruments very well, as well as trumpet.
With Eric on guitar, we've covered a lot of touring
miles together with Gail Bliss and later with Jason.
He's a great guy and I sure hope you guys meet up.
I'll be expecting the 'full report' :wink:
