Country and pop music singing/songwriting legend Willie Nelson & Family will be performing at the Akron Civic Theatre on Thursday, May 11.
Tickets for the show go on sale this Friday, March 19.
Without being morose, if you're country music fan or just music fan who enjoys being in the presence of music legends you should consider this show.
Several decades of great songs as sung by a master and unique interpreter and in concert he gives the people what they want to hear.
Oh and he wrote some of those great songs too.
Also, by the time of the Civic show, he'll be 77…..

Willie's trying to keep the IRS off his tail. He doesn't want to go there again. Help him if you can.
Tickets go on sale on Friday and you can get tickets at the Civic Box Office in person or by calling 330-253-2488, also at ticketmaster.com and all ticket master outlets. Here's an inside scoop: There's an internet pre-sale on Thursday March 18th from 10am-10pm. Use the password: STRANGER. It's ONLY available through ticketmaster.com, so you can't do the pre sale through the box office. Ticket prices are $59.50 and $49.50. Looking forward to the show!!!
