Willie Nelson began music lessons at the age of six and wrote his first song at age seven.  At nine years old, he was playing in a local band in Abbott, Texas. His first #1 singing hit was Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain in 1975, which appeared on the album Red Headed Stranger.   

Now in his 70's, he continues to tour and has performed in concerts and fundraisers with other major musicians, including Bob Dylan, and Dave Matthews. He also continues to record albums prolifically in new genres that embrace reggae, blues, jazz, folk, and popular music.

Nelson will perform at the Koger Center for the Arts at 7:30 p.m on Tuesday, November 3, 2009. 

He is an accomplished singer-songwriter, author, poet,  actor  and activist. He remains an icon, especially in American pop culture.
