Classic country music show at Braumart Theatre

Lindsey Geise and Tom Waselchuk will perform in Sweet Dreams and Honky Tonks: The Music and Lives of Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash on June 30 at the Braumart Theatre in Iron Mountain.

IRON MOUNTAIN — Sweet Dreams and Honky Tonks: The Music and Lives of Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash can be heard at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 30 at the Braumart Theatre in Iron Mountain.

It may be impossible to crown any one performer as country music’s biggest, most beloved, or most influential star, but few would argue that Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash would all be near the top of any list. Each broke barriers and changed country and popular music forever.

Sweet Dreams and Honky Tonks is a new revue that presents the best loved hits of these classic artists along with stories of their colorful lives and amazing careers.

This revue stars two music veterans — Tom Waselchuk and Lindsey Geise.

Waselchuk is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has performed for more than three decades always keeping one foot planted firmly in country music. He has toured nationally and internationally and composed for musical theatre.

Geise is a dynamic singer and a consummate performer. She’s sung just about every style of popular music performing in scores of revues and as a soloist, starring in the “Fabulous Fifties Live.”

Show in Wisconsin Dells for five seasons, and as lead vocalist on Holland America and Celebrity Cruises for four years.

The back-up band, The Dang-Its, features Mark Luhring on drums, Matt Rodgers on bass, Rick Nass on pedal steel guitar and Chris Wagoner on violin and mandolin. The ‘Dang-Its’ were named 2013 Country/Bluegrass Performer of the Year by the Madison, Wis. Area Music Awards and their most recent recording, “A Lick of Sense,” was names the MAMAs 2014 Country Bluegrass Album of the Year.

Tickets are $20 and are available online at www.thebraumart.org, and at the Braumart box office until June 29. Tickets will be available the day of the show at the door for $25.
