Nashville, TN (December 26, 2011) — Jett Williams, daughter of Hank Williams, will host the second-longest running radio show in history, Ernest Tubb Midnite Jamboree on the anniversary of her father’s untimely death in Oak Hill, WV on Sunday, January 1st, 1953.Born a mere five days after her father’s death, Jett was left orphaned and a ward of the state of Alabama with a new name Catherine Yvonne. Jett did not find out her true identity until she began a search in the early 1980’s that would uncover much more than she anticipated.
In 1989, Jett continued the family tradition and began touring the world (originally playing with her father’s band The Drifting Cowboys) and has gone on to play over 800 shows. When one hears Jett sing, no one can dispute the uncanny family genetics passed down to her from her father.
Joining Jett on stage are her guests, David Frizzell (“I’m Gonna Hire a Wino,” “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma”) and rising star, Texas-native Jeremy Parsons. For fans of traditional country music, it’s a historical show you don’t want to miss.
For visitors and natives of Nashville alike, an evening at the Midnite Jamboree provides up-close and intimate performances by legendary artists, as well as a glimpse into the history of country music with onsite exhibits and exclusive memorabilia, including Ernest Tubb’s 1964 tour bus.

PCG Nashville Artist & Staff support rally for Christmas 4 Kids. Jeremy Parsons, signed autographs at the bus tour on Monday evening. Tuesdsay morning, Momma P celebrated her 20th year as a chaperone and a volunteer support.This year Momma P was featured with her child Christian on WSMV, Channel 4 News Nashville, December 13th. Christmas 4 Kids (a division of Christmas For Kids, Inc.) is a 501(c)-3 Non-Profit Organization that was created in 1982, originally called Christmas Caravan. In 1992, we incorporated and changed our name to Christmas For Kids, Inc. For over twenty years, Christmas 4 Kids has given the joy of Christmas to thousands of Middle Tennessee children that might not otherwise experience it. Each December, local businesses, volunteers, celebrities, recording artists, and their bus drivers set aside two days from their busy schedules for these special children. There are 400 children that are picked up and brought to a Christmas Party held in their honor. Santa and Mrs. Claus host the party, which provides lunch (usually donated by Garth Brooks), live music, dancing and a lot of fun!! After the party, the children get back on the buses for a parade, led by the Nashville Trolley carrying five miles and features more than 85 Tour Buses, ending at the Super Walmart in Hendersonville. Each child is met by his or her own chaperone, and they’re given $150.00 to buy anything they want. Plus, Christmas 4 Kids gives every child a brand new winter coat. Charlie Daniels sums it up by saying, “You think about making a kid smile when there is very little to smile about in their life. That’s what Christmas 4 Kids is all about.”
