It’s impossible to crown any one performer as country music’s biggest star, but Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash would all be near the top of any list. Each broke barriers and changed country music and popular culture forever. Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks is a new revue that presents the best loved songs of these classic artists along with stories of their colorful lives and careers. Featuring vocals by Tom Waselchuk and Lindsey Giese and backed by the wonderful band, The Dang-Its.
“The sellout-plus crowd absolutely loved Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks. The music was excellent; the stories about the lives of these legendary performers were heart-warming and informative. Tom and Lindsey’s appreciation and enjoyment of the songs and the men and women who created them came out in their stage performance.”

A message from Tom Waselchuk about the show: For the past ten years the Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks ensemble has been blessed to tour Wisconsin and the upper Mid-West states. We’ve played many beautiful theatres and met many wonderful folks. (Who knew Johnny Cash had so many cousins?) While the pandemic definitely took some wind from our sails, I had been thinking putting the show to bed and moving on, and now seems a good time to say thanks for a great run and to delve in to the next chapter of musical life.
Sweet Dreams will finish out with a mini-tour in Iowa in January before giving our very final performance at the River Arts Center in Prairie du Sac on Saturday January 22, 2:00 pm. (Tickets for this show are also selling well, so reserve your seats!)
If you want to enjoy some great classic country music I hope you can make it over to Waukesha or put our final show on your January calendar. For general information and our remaining schedule, visit our web site: Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks
