If ever the words "living legend" were more than just public relations bluster, the application would be to Willie Hugh Nelson. The iconic Texan is the creative genius behind historic recordings like "Crazy," "Hello Walls," "Red Headed Stranger" and "Stardust." His career has spanned six decades. Nelson's catalog boasts more than 200 albums. He's earned every conceivable award and honor to be bestowed a person in his profession. Nelson has also amassed reputable credentials as an author, actor and activist. He has headlined Farm Aid, lobbied against horse slaughter, produced his own blend of biodiesel fuel and released a new studio album, Moment of Forever.

Liz and Lincoln

This young energetic couple fell in love at age 14, married after college and continued pursuing individual music careers. They recently caught the ear of legendary songwriter Ray Wylie Hubbard, who suggested they merge their talents and form a duo. The result has been the most down-home poetic mix of soul, blues, rock and country since Delaney & Bonnie. Their songwriting styles bring together a refreshing mix of rich thought provoking imagery coupled with depth and humor. Powerful vocal harmonies provide a potent sound which intertwined with Lincolns gnarly guitar licks and Liz’s range of percussion and harmonica prove these kindred spirits will be well worth keeping up with.
