Country music singer, guitarist and songwriter Willie Nelson returns to The BayCare Sound with special guest Lily Meola!

Since the mid-1970s, Willie Nelson has emerged as one of the most versatile, enduring, and influential talents in country music. He is known for hits such as On The Road Again, Pancho and Lefty, Crazy and Always on My Mind. As a vocal stylist, songwriter, bandleader, and even occasional movie actor, his long commercial reign (twenty #1 country hits and 114 chart singles between 1962 and 1993) has been outstripped only by his boundless energy as a performer and songwriter. The ‘80s saw the release of No. 1 albums Honeysuckle Rose, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Always on My Mind, and The Promiseland, as well as Nelson joining Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson in the country supergroup The Highwaymen, touring and releasing three studio albums between 1985 and 1995. Willie was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993 and received the GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999.
