THE OUTLAWS LIVE
It’s the 84th Birthday Celebration Year for Willie Nelson.
Thirty nine years since Stardust hit the charts, and the popularity
for this American music icon continues to grow. Celebrated in every
corridor of music across this
country, no artist is more recognized in the United State than
Willie Nelson. The acclaimed unofficial ambassador to the world
of country music, Willie is accepted by all folks in all walks
of life and loved by millions worldwide.
No other single individual has been as closely identified with
Willie Nelson as Waylon Jennings. Their emergence as the ‘The Outlaws’ of
country music identified the progressive renegade country movement
and it’s break from the traditional Nashville music stereotype
that opened the door for decades of adventures beyond the mainstream
of country music. With a home base in Austin, Willie and Waylon
(and the Boys) captured the imagination of the nation and set the
course for today’s expanding country music scene.
The best tribute show in North America to these two country immortals
in haunting resemblance for both sight and sound is Michael Moore,
a Texas musician and vocalist who has been often mistaken for Willie
Nelson, and August Manley, a musician and vocalist who is a dead
ringer for the late Waylon Jennings in both appearance and vocal
ability, to create a tribute show to Willie
and Waylon that transports
the audience to a time when both men took the stage and captured
the attention and affection of all who were lucky enough to catch
their act.
