ABOUT THE SHOW
This show really grabs the audience’s attention from the start, opening with some really “HOT” Cajun Style Fiddling, backed by a band that gets your hands clappin’ and your toes tappin’. Wade is enthusiastic about his music and between songs he loves to share wonderful stories of his impressive rise through the ranks of country music. As he moves from the high energy sounds of his Cajun roots to the familiar, soothing sounds of Old Country Favorites, videos are seen on two large screens featuring vintage footage of Wade with some of the greatest names of country music. These images run as Wade and the band play the songs that made these stars famous.
Early in the show, Wade is joined, on-stage by his lovely and very talented wife Teresa. She delivers emotional renditions of hits by some of country music’s best known female artists. Teresa and Wade sing stirring duets, share many humorous moments and communicate their deep love of performing together. They enjoy interacting with the audience and keep them involved throughout the show. Members of the band are featured on vocals including some of Bob Wills Western Swing numbers and on Cajun Accordion that makes you just want to jump up and dance! Wade shares music from his heart, when he closes the show with beautiful instrumental renditions of some of the most memorable hymns. When this show ends, audiences are on their feet applauding because they have been entertained.
