Chase Padgett brings Nashville Hurricane to Toronto

Storyteller and musician Chase Padgett will bring two of his critically acclaimed shows to the CAA Theatre this Spring. 6 Guitars returns for four performances from May 6-10, 2025, and his new show Nashville Hurricane: A Curious Tale of Finger Pickin’ Fury will play for four performances from May 7-11, 2025.

Written by Chase Padgett and Jay Hopkins, Nashville Hurricane tells the tale of a mysterious acoustic guitarist who appeared from nowhere, conquered the music industry, and vanished without a trace … until now. Chase Padgett becomes a manager, a mother, a mentor, and the guitar prodigy himself as each one tells their side of the rise, demise, and resurrection of the best damn guitar player you’ve never heard of; the Nashville Hurricane.

During the course of this 75-minute one-man show performed by Chase Padgett, the audience learns about Henry Waltrip (the "Nashville Hurricane") from his humble trailer park beginnings, to the crazy gigs on the road with his blues playing mentor Tyrone. The stories and songs unfold into hilarious rants on love and music, a riveting tale involving the dark side of show biz, and blazing guitar work such as the finale: a one man acoustic “Devil Went Down to Georgia.”

Nashville Hurricane: A Curious Tale of Finger Pickin’ Fury runs May 7-11 at the CAA Theatre in Toronto. Tickets are available now at Mirvish.com or by calling 1.800.461.3333.
