Willie Nelson & Family 80th Birthday Tour

Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson, the famed actor, author, country musician, and activist honored the Freedom Hall Civic Center in Johnson City, Tennessee on Thursday, April 4th, 2013. Considering that his 80th birthday is coming up on April 30th, Willie still has more energy and talent than 99% of all other musicians out there today. Aside from his music, Willie is probably best known as an activist for the reform of cannabis laws and the use of hemp and biodiesel as an energy source. He has been doing this for the better part of forty years, since long before marijuana was widely accepted for medical treatments or even popular. Willie Nelson's strong stage presence affirms his cannabis use has had no detrimental effect on his health and ability.

The Cody Johnson Band, Texas Music

Cody Johnson and The Cody Johnson Band are a "country" music group and part of the Texas music scene. Playing all over Texas, they have a great show replete with your typical country music, to include a fiddle, because "if your gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band," but they also rock the crowd pretty hard with some great guitar riffs and some rockin drum beats. You know it's going to be a great show when the crowd is already screaming even before the act takes the stage, and this was no exception. If you've not heard of them before, check them 0ut. You will not be disappointed.
