Yup, I saw him on the same tour three weeks ago, in a TINY Mexican restaurant in our little town (he was playing there, not having tacos, the kitchen manager is a music promoter). What a great all-round writer and singer.

I was really surprised they booked him in that room instead of the concert hall. Me and the other 32 paying customers got a great close-up show.

Funny, I didn't know he did a tour as Hank Williams. I saw the original live world premiere of "Hank Williams, The Show He Never Gave" in the old Broken Arms (officially the Beacon Arms), a large seedy beer parlour in uptown Ottawa, with Sneezy and the rest of the original cast. In 1977. It's a what-if piece recreating how the concert Hank was scheduled to play on New Year's Eve 1953 might have gone had he not died enroute to the gig.

I don't think Ron Hynes is exactly a fixture on Canadian TV though, he most likely shows up in some of those made-down-east movies with the rest of the Maritime Mafia.
