COEUR d’ALENE — Local country singers will invoke the magic of country giants Hank Williams and Patsy Cline on Saturday during An Evening with Hank and Patsy in Lake City Center.
Rusty Jackson, Chrissy Summering and the All Star Band will take the stage at 6 p.m. to bring to life the music and memories of beloved country stars who left this earth too soon. Audience members are sure to get goosebumps as Jackson and Summering take on the personas and tell the stories of this beloved duo.
"This show is a dream come true for me," Jackson said. "I've wanted to be Hank since the first time I heard him and now for one night, I GET TO BE HANK. And Chrissy Summering is the most amazing Patsy since Patsy."
One of the most popular American country singer-songwriters, Williams is known for "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Hey Good Lookin'" and "Cold, Cold Heart." He was just 29 when he died of a heart attack in 1953.
Patsy Cline, the "queen of country music," produced hits such as "Crazy," "Walkin' after Midnight" and "I Fall to Pieces." She was only 30 when she was killed in a plane crash in 1963.
An Evening with Hank and Patsy is presented by the Inland Northwest Country Music Association.

Lake City Center is at 1916 North Lakewood Drive, Coeur d'Alene.
