Watch Hank Williams Jr. Fans take over Tampa Waffle House.

Hank William played a packed show Friday at the Mid-Florida Credit Union Amphitheater.  After the show, a ton of fans went to the Waffle House for some late night food.  It was obvious that many were at the show, so someone busted out singing Hank’s big hit “Family Tradition”.  That sparked everyone in the restaurant to start singing along.

The video was posted on TikTok around 2am after the concert.  It seems that late night cravings and Hank Williams Jr. go together.

About Hank Williams Jr.

Randall Hank Williams, born in Shreveport, Louisiana is the only son of Audrey Williams and country music superstar Hank Williams. His father nicknamed him “Bocephus” after comedian and Grand Ole Opry Star Rod Brasfield’s ventriloquist dummy. Williams would often close shows by saying, “Don’t worry, Bocephus, I’m coming home.”

After his father passed away, his mother knew he was going to follow in his fathers footsteps and at age 8, he began playing shows.

By 1960 he was playing the Grand Ole Opry, singing his father’s hit, “Lovesick Blues.”  In 1969. Hank, Jr. and Johnny Cash join together for a sold-out show at Detroit’s Cobo Hall, playing the highest-grossing country music show to date.  Hank, Jr.’s album: Songs My Father Left Me becomes his first top-charting country album.

 

 

 

Cities You Can Fly Nonstop to From Tampa With Frontier Airlines

Frontier this week announced they cut the price of their summer pass that lets you fly anywhere you like. Head to a beach in the Caribbean or fly to Buffalo to get some wings. The GoWild! all-You-Can-Fly Summer Pass will cost you $499. Fly anywhere you like until the end of September. Where can you go from Tampa? Here’s their list of cities you can fly to direct from Tampa International Airport.

  • Cleveland

    Go visit the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame or hop on a bike and check out 60 miles of trails at the Cleveland Metroparks.

  • San Juan

    Walk around Old San Juan and check out the oldest governor’s mansion still in use or just explore the incredible coastline.

     

  • Philadelphia

    Go directly to Jim’s on South Street for the best cheesesteak anywhere.  You’d think given my name Geno’s would be my pick.  It’s definitely the most famous cheesesteak spot, but honestly Jim’s is way better.

     

  • Denver

    Explore the Rocky Mountains or visit Red Rocks Park.

  • Islip, NY

    If Long Island doesn’t excite you, you’re not far from New York City.

  • Las Vegas

    Go check out that new Sphere.  U2 is doing a residency there this year.  Tickets aren’t cheap though!

     

  • Trenton

    I can’t think of many reasons to visit Trenton, but hey you’d be smack dab in the middle of 2 great cities to visit – NYC and Philadelphia.

  • Buffalo

    Let’s go get some wings!

  • Chicago

    Staying on the food vibe, do not miss devouring some deep dish at Lou Malnati’s.

  • Atlanta

    A short one hour jump.  Try to see if anything is going on at their enormous stadium.  I got to visit for the Super Bowl a couple years ago and just being at the stadium itself is an experience.

     

  • Dallas

    Go get some the best BBQ anywhere after a visit to Pioneer Plaza.

     

  • Phoenix

    It’ll be just as hot as Florida, but without the humidity! Check out Castles ‘n Coasters.

  • Cincinnati

    Don’t miss the Ohio River Trail.

  • Cancun

    We have beautiful beaches in Tampa Bay, but go check out some new ones.

  • Montego-Bay

    Jamaica mon! Go see some of the best spots to snorkel anywhere.

  • Milwaukee

    Go for the beer or the great art museums. Or both.
