WEYBURN - Weyburn Concert Series will present an evening of much loved music by Patsy Cline and Hank Williams, as performed by Lisa Brokop and Paul Jefferson.
The concert will take place at the Cugnet Centre on Thursday, May 8 at 7:30 p.m.
“Anyone who loves traditional country music will enjoy this show as we perform many of the classic songs from these two artists. We love to tell the stories behind the songs as well,” said Brokop, who embarked on a heartfelt tribute to the iconic Patsy Cline.
Lisa skillfully renders classics like ‘Sweet Dreams’, ‘Walking After Midnight’ and ‘Crazy’. She will be joined on stage by Paul Jefferson, a celebrated country artist and accomplished songwriter for various artists including Aaron Tippin and Keith Urban. Paul channels the spirit of Hank Williams Sr., and blends classics with capitivating tales from Hank’s life.
“It’s important to Paul and I to keep the traditional sounds of country music alive. Patsy was very influential to me as a young girl starting out and Hank was a huge inspiration to Paul especially as a songwriter, as Hank wrote most all of his own music,” said Brokop.
“So many of our legends have passed on and they aren’t played on the radio like they used to be so we are here to keep the music alive!”
“The raw emotion of these particular two artists is what really pulls us in,” added Brokop. “It’s raw and real and that’s something you don’t hear as much of in today’s music.”
This concert aims to delight audiences of all ages.
“My favourite part of the show is when Paul and I sing together at the end of the show. Patsy and Hank never actually met as they were about a decade apart from each other with their music but it’s fun to imagine what it might have been like if they had,” added Brokop.
“It’s a lot of fun to take people on a walk down memory lane. We have a screen behind us that will project images of Patsy and Hank that really adds to the feel of the show as well as an amazing four-piece band!”
Tickets to this Weyburn Concert Series event are available at Old Fashion Foods and the Weyburn Review/Weyburn This Week office.
The much anticipated 2025-2026 season will be annoumced at this concert.
