Billy Joe Shaver - May 19 at Luckenbach

Come out to Luckenbach, Texas and hear legendary award winning singer/songwriter, Billy Joe Shaver in the Luckenbach Dance Hall. Doors open at 7pm. Opening Act George Ensle will start at 9pm. Advance tickets are $12 and will be available until midnight Thursday, May 17th. Starting Friday, May 18th ticket prices will be $15. Children 12 and under are free. All tickets will be held at "Will Call" and can be picked up the day of the show.


As a living lightning rod for the blues, Billy Joe Shaver is one rough 'n' rowdy Texan who's experienced more than enough joy and pain in his sixty-seven years to ever have to go begging for material. Like Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie, and Jimmie Rodgers, Billy Joe has lived the songs he sings--when it's about love, he's embraced it; when it's about grief, he's writhed in it; and when it's about screwing-up, well, Lord knows he's done it. When Shaver kicks his to-the-bone tales back our way, they smack of irrefutable truth--a truth that's delivered with simple, poetic grace.
