Hunter Owens Music

I'm playing at Howard Dooley's! Come see me!

Virginia’s Li’l Ole Opry will kick up their heels on Saturday night, May 25th, and take you back in time to the “good ol’ days” of country and rock and roll from the decades of the 1950’s and 60’s! The show will feature the house band, Shades of Country, and all of the Opry singers, including some special guests, performing the best songs of yesteryear! The show will be at Mathews High School's Harry M. Ward auditorium. Doors open at 7:00 and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. “Since our Oldies shows are the most requested of each year, we decided to do TWO this year with this week’s show focusing on 50s and 60s music, stated Lynda Smith, Opry President. Be prepared to reminisce with songs from Tammy Wynette, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Merle, Buddy Holly, Diana Ross & the Supremes, Aretha, The Everly Bros and SO much more! Mathews’ own, Walt Stillman, Hunter Owens and Elijah Clark, will be guest performers on the show. They join cast members Lynda Smith, William Earl Sadler, Ralph Motley, Richard Smith, Shane Norris, David Shuber, Sam Hogge, Mike McDevitt, Susan Ripley, Tracy Hill, Faith Kemp, and Mike Gregg on stage. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Mathews Visitor Center in Mathews and Marketplace Antiques on Route 17 in Hayes. Tickets are also available at the door on show night starting at 6:30 p.m. As always, the Opry offers fun, entertaining shows of new country favorites as well as the songs everyone remembers! So, bring your kids, your grandparents and your preacher! We are a family show and we have music for all ages!
