With a seven-decade career, Willie Nelson has earned every conceivable award as a musician and has amassed reputable credentials as an author, actor, and activist.
Recently, Nelson was nominated for the 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, starred in a Super Bowl commercial for the second straight year, and released a new studio album, I Don’t Know a Thing About Love: The Songs of Harlan Howard.
At 89 years young, he shows no signs of slowing down.
On Thursday, May 25, Willie Nelson & Family are set to perform at the Foellinger Theatre. This will be a unique opportunity to see a country music legend in our own backyard.
