Hank Williams Tribute Sept. 16

The Fayette County Country Music Club will host their annual tribute to Hank Williams on Monday, Sept. 16.

This month is the Opry’s annual tribute to the late and great Hank Williams Sr. who would have turned 101 years old this month. Portraying Hank Williams, the Opry is proud to have young Wyatt Aleman to sing and play songs by the late and great Hank Williams, Sr.

WyattAleman is a 19-yearold from Harwood who loves to play the fiddle and the steel guitar. He started playing the fiddle when he was ten years old, and has now been playing the steel guitar just a little over two years. He loves playing traditional country music and western swing music. Two of Wyatt’s most influential artists are Hank Williams, Sr. and Bob Wills.

He was nominated as “Young Artist of the Year”, by the AWA, Academy of Western Artists, in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2022. He won that title as “Young Artist of the Year” in 2018.

On May 4, he was inducted into The Cowtown Society of Western Music, as “Rising Artist of the Year”.

Along with traveling, he has had the privilege to play at many different venues. A couple of them, that he was very honored to do, is playing for Hank Williams’ 101st Birthday Celebration at The Davis Theater on Sept. 14, and the Blue Cadillac Concert at the Hank Williams Museum, Sept. 13. Both are located in Montgomery, Ala.

Wyatt plans on going to college and earning his degree in music. He is also working towards opening his own music studio to teach music lessons. Besides playing fiddle and steel guitar, he also plays guitar, upright bass, mandolin, drums and is now teaching himself to play the keyboard.

Be sure to be with us on Monday, Sept. 16 for the annual Tribute to the late and great Hank Williams Sr.
