Sunday is the 100th birthday of Alabama native Hank Williams.
The Hank Williams Museum will recognize this milestone event with a three-day gala concert and graveyard memorial service.
“Even a century after his birth and more than 70 years after his passing, Hank Williams continues to attract new generations of fans who love and appreciate the music he wrote and performed,” Hank Williams Museum Director Beth Petty said. “Though he died at just 29 years of age, Hank left a lasting musical legacy that continues to grow, and we feel it is important to celebrate and recognize the 100th birthday of one of Alabama’s favorite sons and greatest legends.
The Hank Williams centennial wreath laying and memorial service is set to take place September 17 from 8:45 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. at his gravesite in the Oakwood Cemetery Annex located at 1304 Upper Wetumpka Road in Montgomery. In addition, the Sheppard Family Band, whose members are related to Hank Willams’ former wife, Audrey Shepard Williams, will perform during the ceremony.
The three-day Hank Williams Centennial Concert begins Friday, September 15, and will take place at Troy University’s Davis Theater in Montgomery. The concert will feature a combination of well-known country and bluegrass acts as well as tribute artists who perform in the style of Williams.David Ball
