A lot’s happened in the world in the six years since Emmylou Harris played Tampa Theatre, and we’re guessing the living legend of country music will address it all next spring when she returns to Tampa Bay.

Tickets to see Emmylou Harris play Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. are on sale now and start at $43.25.
The 14-time Grammy winner’s last local set was a masterclass in songwriting where she traversed “Sin City” key changes and sprinted alongside her band on “Luxury Liner.” During the 20-song affair, Harris, now 75 years old, effortlessly showcased underrated guitar prowess and even shouted out Winter Haven’s Gram Parsons.

Harris, who turns 76 next year, has since received the Grammys’ Lifetime Achievement award and continued her activism for animal welfare.
