FRIDAY 6 | Had he not succumbed to a lethal combination of alcoholism and prescription drugs at the age of 29, Hank Williams – also known as ‘the hillbilly Shakespeare’ – would have turned 90 this month. In homage to one of country music’s most enduring legends, Grass Snake Union’s Andre, Daniel Greg and Jose are teaming up with concrete cowboy Joe Wrigley as Holey Bucket Union to perform a catalogue of Williams’ classics. Sharing the stage is local chanteuse Mealea Lay, performing her first full set of Cambodian hits from the 1960s.
