List of Events
Petunia at Ropery Hall
Petunia is more than just an entertainer, he’s a modern musical enigma. Imagine Hank Williams on acid, if David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby that yodelled, or Tom Waits met Elvis Presley at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction. These are just a few ways of describing the man known simply as Petunia. He’s an adventure seeker, a poker player, and a mysterious stranger. He’s been referred to as “The Saviour of Country Music”, and a man who exists in a different era, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgotten.
