WABASH – WCJC welcomes legendary singer/songwriter Bill Anderson to the Honeywell Center in Wabash May 18 at 7:30 p.m. Anderson, known as “Whispering Bill” because of his breathy voice and his warm approach to singing, is one of the most awarded songwriters in the history of country music. A million-album selling recording artist many times over, he has also added TV game show host and network soap opera star to his resume. His back-up group, The Po’ Folks Band, has long been considered one of the finest instrumental and vocal groups in the business, according to a press release from the Honeywell Center. Largely due to hits like “Deck of Cards,” “Still” and “Green, Green Grass of Home,” Anderson has been voted Songwriter of the Year six times and Male Vocalist of the Year. In 1985 he was honored by the State of Georgia when they chose him as only the seventh living performer inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. But in 2001, he received the ultimate honor, membership in Nashville’s prestigious Country Music Hall of Fame. Tickets are $25, $35 and $50, and can be purchased at the box office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday by calling 260-563-1102 or by visiting www.honeywellcenter.org
