WAYNE WAYNESON AND THE WHISKY KISSERS
With support from TBC
A comedy, clown, drag king character Wayne Wayneson - is multi-platinum, Grammy-winning country-rock icon. Once the untouchable symbol of musical masculinity, Wayne became a relic of excess, stumbling through life fueled by cheap whiskey and outdated bravado. But he's got a plan: a comeback.
Enter Wayne Wayneson & The Whisky Kissers. A powerhouse band of seasoned musicians (who are all women and non-binary people in mousatches), embodying the swagger, ego, and grit of classic male country stars. Through electrifying performances they channel the world of whiskey-soaked honky-tonks, heartbreak anthems, and absurd, over-the-top machismo.
