Ironstone Amphitheatre hosts one of music’s most iconic singer-songwriters this weekend.
Will Nelson brings his tour to Murphys on Sunday, July 19.
At 93, Nelson’s career spans more than seven decades, with numerous hits and heavy influence over the music industry.
The 15-time Grammy winner shows no sign of slowing down, according to a story on newyorker.com.
Nelson spoke in December about how he takes care of his health. For exercise, he does sit-ups, arm rolls, leg lifts and jogs in place. “I’m in pretty good shape, physically, for 92,” he said in the story, which posted prior to his April birthday. “Woke up again this morning, so that’s good.”
Known for classics including “On the Road Again,” “Always On My Mind,” “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” “Whiskey River” and many more, Nelson "continues to captivate audiences with his unmistakable voice, signature guitar sound and legendary live performances,” the Ironstone Amphitheatre website says.
His Willie Nelson & Family tour comes to the Mother Lode venue with guests artists ERNEST and Margo Price.
Opening the show will be Price, who performs a blend of country, Americana, rock and roots music.
ERNEST will offer his songwriting, modern country sound and fan favorites, according to the Ironstone website.
Limited tickets, $83-$548, remain available for the show. It’s set to begin at 6 p.m. Sunday at Ironstone Amphitheatre, 1896 6 Mile Road in Murphys.
Other upcoming artists at the venue include Air Supply, Little River Band and John Waite (Aug. 7); Kane Brown (Aug. 16); Alison Krauss & Union Station (Aug. 28); and Lynyrd Skynyrd with Foghat and Molly Hatchet (Oct. 2).
