‘TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDS’, is a 2 hour country cabaret show paying tribute to the great legends of the ‘Grand Ole Opry’.
Due to popular demand & the many requests from his fans, Dale is finally bringing his great tribute show back to Tamworth CM Festival.

The show will cater for the 40 plus age group, although country fans of all ages will enjoy it as well.  After the smash hit movie “Walk The Line” hit the big screen the show is now attracting a great number of fans from the younger generation.

CASH-ENDORSED: Dale Hooper performs the only Tribute to Johnny CASH in Australia that is recognized & credited by the CASH family.

When you perform a tribute show and get the seal of approval from the real star’s family, you know you’re doing something right. That’s how it is for Dale Hooper. Dale will be featuring a special feature set of his ‘Complete Tribute to CASH’ to end the show.

The great thing about the show is, the audience will be familiar with all of the songs & can sing along.   Songs of the legends that are: Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, Mark Chestnutt, George Strait, Martina McBride, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Jeannie C Riley etc.  All of these legendary entertainers had an endless list of No 1 hits…. songs like; Folsom Prison Blues, Ring of Fire, White Sport Coat, Mama Tried, Little Sister, Stand By Your Man, Blue Bayou, 9 to 5, Harper Valley PTA, Jackson etc.  Dale Hooper & his Support Act, local Tamworth girl, Aimee Hannan, (as seen on ABC TV’s “Headliners” show), perform these songs and many more like them throughout the show.  Dale relates well with his audience and has made a selection of songs for the show that he considers to be…….The all time favourite hits of the Opry Legends!

nb. In 2003 Dale toured with Joanne CASH Yates (younger sister of Johnny CASH), he has recorded with Tommy CASH (younger brother of Johnny). So impressed was Joanne with Dale’s tribute to her brother, she invited him to perform & record with her in Nashville @ “The Cash Cabin” recording studio which he did recently in Aug 2020. Also impressed with Dale’s vocals was Tommy CASH, (younger brother of Johnny), resulting in Dale recording duets with him in 2003 on his “Legends & Friends” album.  You don’t get to do this unless you have something very special to offer.

Dale has a handpicked 6pce show band, “The Tennessee Drifters’, that will certainly bring to life the true sound & music from the era of these great Opry Legends. The band includes: Special guest from USA: Rick Buck (Lead & Rhythm Guitar, Musical Director & Harmonies) – Rick was an original long time member of, “The Cash Crew”, (Tommy Cash’s backing band, and “Country Legend” band USA).
Also, Rusty Crook (Lead & Rhythm Guitar), Rob Brown (Bass Guitar), Michael Green (Keyboards & Harmonica), & Benny Cant (Drums). Support Act: Tamworth local, Aimee Hannan (as seen on ABC TV show “Headliners”).

A show not to be missed !!
