Speaking of Music: Joel Underwood/Hank Williams

On New Year’s Eve, 1952, despite his fragile health, 29
year-old Hank Williams took off on an ill-planned overnight
journey from Alabama to Ohio to save his flailing career. He
did not survive. In “Move It On Over”, music
historian/folksinger/story-teller Joel Underwood brings the
same energy KCPT audiences remember from his Woody Guthrie & Bob Dylan performances back to our stage, weaving the events of that
mysterious, still-controversial night with Williams’ early
life. Throughout the ride, we sing along with favorites
including “Your Cheatin’ Heart”, “Hey Good Lookin'”, and “So
Lonesome I Could Cry”. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic,
Underwood and his guitar showcase the story of one of
America’s most important musical voices.
