Anyone who caught Chase Padgett’s hit show 6 Guitars last year will be glad to hear he’s making a return to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
Padgett is returning Nov. 4 and 5 for Nashville Hurricane.
The 75-minute one-man show tells the story of a mysterious acoustic guitarist who appeared from nowhere 40 years ago to conquer the music industry then vanished without a trace.
Padgett becomes a manager, a mother, a mentor and the guitar prodigy himself as each character tells their side of the rise, demise and resurrection of the best guitar player you’ve never heard of: Henry Waltrip, a.k.a. the Nashville Hurricane.
It traces Waltrip’s journey from his humble trailer park beginnings alongside his “white trash” mother, Brenda, to his gigs with his blues-playing mentor, Tyron.
“The stories and songs unfold into hilarious rants on love and music, a riveting tale involving the dark side of show biz, and blazing guitar work any audience is sure to rave about, such as the finale: a one-man acoustic Devil Went Down to Georgia.”
Nashville Hurricane takes to the stage Friday and Saturday, Nov. 4 and 5, at the Shadbolt Centre, 6450 Deer Lake Ave.
Tickets are $30 to $38 and available through tickets.shadboltcentre.com or by calling 604-205-3000.
