On New Year's Eve, 1952, despite his fragile health, 29-year-old Hank Williams took off on an ill-planned overnight journey from Alabama to Ohio to save his flailing career. He did not survive. In "Move It On Over", music historian/folksinger/storyteller Joel Underwood brings the same energy KCPT audiences remember from his Woody Guthrie performance back to our stage, weaving the events of that mysterious, still-controversial night with Williams' early life. Throughout the ride, we sing along with favorites including "Your Cheatin' Heart", "Hey Good Lookin'", and "So Lonesome I Could Cry". Sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic, Underwood and his guitar showcase the story of one of America's most important musical voices.

About the Show: Russian-born Solomon Rabinowitz took the pen name Sholom Aleichem from the traditional Hebrew greeting “peace be upon you.” The popular Yiddish writer shared stories of 19th -century Jewish life. American audiences know his Tevye stories made famous by “Fiddler on the Roof,” but they span much more — from hilarious tales of train rides and mud production to bitter monologues on assimilated Jews and anti-Semitism.
