“I am thrilled and honored that so many of George’s friends are coming to what would have been his last concert, but is not a fitting tribute,” says Nancy Jones, the country music legend’s widow, in a news release. “George loved these artists and before passing had actually wrote letters to almost all of them.”
While performing in her home state of Texas over the weekend, the Grammy winner confirmed on Facebook that she is opening a second Pink Pistol location in her hometown of Lindale.
Broken Arrow rockabilly musician JD McPherson will share the stage at Cain’s Ballroom with a Texas singer/songwriter in December, the venue announced Monday.
McPherson and Hayes Carll are set to play Dec. 27. Tickets go on sale Sept. 20 at
tulsaworld.com/cains, the Cain’s box office or by phone at 877-4-FLYTIX.
Ticket prices are $20 in advance, $24 at the door.
McPherson’s retro style takes some influence from ‘50s rock and roll, for a raucous and exciting show, especially for his hometown crowd.
Carll’s honkey-tonk singer/songwriter style of maverick country has earned him growing notoriety especially after his fourth album, KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories).
Carll has performed in Tulsa several times, including at the 2012 Mayfest.
