✔️ Willie Nelson w/Los Lonely Boys Google “Willie Nelson,” and the second thing that comes up after the American music icon’s official webpage is an answer to the question “Is Willie Nelson OK?” It’s a legit inquiry, considering that the 84-year-old songwriter had to re-schedule several shows (including this one originally slated for February 15) as he recovered from the flu. We’re hoping that the Red-Headed Stranger is in fine spirits at the Clearwater show because he’s been lifting ours for the last half-century now. (Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater) INFO
