Willie Nelson Announces Tour Dates for February and April 2024

by Em Casalena November 24, 2023, 3:33 am

Willie Nelson is going on tour yet again, this time traveling through Florida, Texas, and California in 2024. Nelson will perform alongside The Family, his touring band, for several of the tour dates announced. The Family includes musicians Mickey Raphael, Billy English, Kevin Smith, Micah Nelson, and Waylon Payne. Supporting acts, if any, have yet to be announced.

Videos by American Songwriter

This early 2024 tour will start on February 7 in Immokalee, Florida at the Seminole Center Outdoors and will end on April 27 in Indio, California at the Stagecoach Empire Polo Club. Nelson is also scheduled to perform with The Family on July 27 in Seattle, Washington at Chris Stapelton’s All-American Road Show featuring Sheryl Crow.

Nelson hasn’t said much about the upcoming tour on social media, but he has recently wrapped up his 2023 touring dates and recently performed a temporary residency at the Outlaw Music Festival from June through October 2023.

General onsale tickets kick off today at 10:00 AM local time and are available via Stubhub , so don’t hesitate to get yours now.

Not sure if Stubhub is the right platform for buying seats to Nelson’s upcoming performances? One of the biggest advantages of using Stubhub is the assurance of legitimacy and security. The platform’s rigorous verification process for sellers provides a safeguard against fraudulent tickets, instilling confidence in buyers. Also, Stubhub’s FanProtect Guarantee offers further peace of mind, promising full refunds or replacements in the rare event of issues with ticket validity. Just keep in mind that tickets on the platform may be more or less than general on-sale ticket prices elsewhere.

Nelson embarking on yet another tour isn’t surprising to anyone, as the artist is constantly “on the road again” even at the age of 90. And touring isn’t all Nelson has been up to. He released two new studio albums in 2023, including I Don’t Know a Thing About Love and Bluegrass , which are his 73rd and 74th studio albums, respectively. 

Nelson also spent 2023 publishing the book Energy Follows Thought: The Stories Behind My Songs , which was later narrated by actor Ethan Hawke. Nelson has also been touring throughout 2023, notably performing a whopping 32 different dates throughout his Outlaw Music Festival residency from June through October. Nelson’s a busy man, but we can expect the same quality and vigor in his upcoming 2024 that he delivers time and time again at his live performances.

Willie Nelson’s live shows are a monument to his unmatched brilliance and charisma as a real pioneer and icon of country music. Fans of multiple generations appreciate his music, from those who grew up with “On the Road Again” and “Whiskey River” to others who have only heard his most recent work.

All the classics that Willie Nelson fans know and love are expected to be included in the setlist for his forthcoming 2024 tour. Don’t miss out on your chance to see Willie Nelson on his next tour! These tickets will not last, so snatch your seats from Stubhub ASAP.

7 ways to celebrate Willie Nelson's 90th birthday in Austin

Country music icon Willie Nelson turns 90 on Saturday. The native Texan has come to be known as one of America’s most legendary music artists, dominating the charts and capturing the hearts of his fans for decades.

Willie’s performance at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin in 1972 is recognized as “the starting point of today’s Austin music scene."

While Willie will celebrate his birthday with a performance in Los Angeles this weekend, here are some ways to celebrate him locally:

1. Attend a special Willie tribute concert downtown

Austin cover band The Motts will perform a tribute concert to Willie Nelson at 3TEN ACL Live on Saturday at 7 p.m.

The Austin City Limits music venue sits on Willie Nelson Boulevard, formally known as Second Street. Tickets start at $15 not including fees.

2. Listen to Willie all weekend long on KUTX

Join KUT's sister station KUTX for wall-to-wall Willie all weekend long, from the classics you know and love, to deep cuts you’ve never heard. Listen on the radio at 98.9 FM or at KUTX.org .

3. Take a selfie with Willie's statue downtown

Head downtown to take a photo with the 1-ton, 8-foot-tall statue of Willie standing behind Austin City Hall near the ACL Live theater on Willie Nelson Boulevard.

4. Vote Willie into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

In 1993, Willie was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. This year, Willie is a nominee for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Visit the Hall of Fame's website to take part in the "Fan Vote."

5. Listen to 'Amazing Grace: The Story of Willie Nelson'

Learn more about the country star’s life by listening to this hour-long KUTX documentary hosted by Texas Standard's David Brown — originally broadcast in 2008 — exploring how Willie rose from humble beginnings in Texas to become one of the most famous artists of all time.

"This is the story of an ambitious man who got lost chasing the American dream, only to find himself back home," Brown says. "It’s the story of a Texas iconoclast, and an American icon."

6. Share your Willie memory or encounter with KUT

In celebrating 90 years of Willie, KUT wants to know what he means to you. Is there one concert you'll never forget? One particular Willie song that reminds you about a special someone or time in your life? Have you crossed paths with the country music icon?

Tell us here . Or read the submissions we've received here .

7. Can't celebrate this weekend? Join Willie at his Fourth of July Picnic

There are more celebrations in store if you can’t celebrate this weekend. Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic is returning to Austin this summer at Q2 Stadium.

Willie Nelson & Family will perform along with Tyler Childers, Dwight Yoakam, Shakey Graves and more. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday.

Honorable mention: Fly to LA

Celebrate with Willie himself at his birthday party at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Saturday and Sunday.

Over 35 musicians will join Willie on stage including Chris Stapleton, Neil Young, Kacey Musgraves, Snoop Dogg, The Chicks and The Lumineers. It’s not too late to buy tickets for the show and catch a flight from Austin.

Iconic American music legend Willie Nelson set the bar for country music with a music career that dates back since the 1950s.

Born during the great American depression on 29 April 1933 in Abbott, Texas, Willie Hugh Nelson worked some odd jobs and had a short-lived college career at Baylor University until he left it all to pursue a music career. He caught his big break in 1961 when he signed with Liberty Records and by 1962 released his first record “…And Then I Wrote.” By the fall of 1964 Nelson moved to RCA records, released “Country Willie- His Own Songs” and joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1965. While some of his songs charted, Nelson was finding difficulty to fully stay afloat and from his frustration retired from music around 1972.

But that was not the end of Willie Nelson. He moved to Texas and the growing hippie music scene revived his love for singing. Playing songs inspired by all of his influences, he started to gain a following in Texas, eventually signing with Atlantic Records, becoming their very first country artist. By February 1973 he had started recording what was to be one of his most iconic records “Shotgun Willie.” The album didn’t do so well at first, and Nelson released one more album before moving labels again, this time to Columbia Records, a move that allowed him complete creative control. This change was exactly what he needed to “turn around” his music career, starting with the critically acclaimed “Red Headed Stranger” album; additionally it lent to the creation of the outlaw country genre, as it did not fit with the traditional country music standards.

The rest of the 70s he found himself with four albums reaching gold and platinum status, one of which was his first gospel album. And the 80s were just as successful with three Grammy awards for Song of the Year, Best Country Song and Best Male Country Vocal Performance. However in 1990 Nelson ran into some legal trouble with the IRS, allegedly owing over $30,000 in tax money. Luckily things worked out, with his lawyer getting a lowered payment and Nelson using the scenario as inspiration for an album he entitled “The IRS Tapes: Who’ll Buy My Memories?”

Even at the age of 81 Willie Nelson continues to thrive. He continues to put out new music, play for his fans and be active with Farm Aid, an activist movement he helped start to increase the awareness of the importance of family farms.

Live reviews

Before I give this review I want to highlight or point out there is a VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE for Willie in this review.

This concert was the first of a three night stretch at whitewater in new braunfels,tx. And the beginning of Merle and Willie's national tour. My significant other(Jen) and I decided to make this our celebration for our 16th anniversary(of not being married). Haha. I know this is a place for a review of the concert and I will say the concert was unforgettable for sure. There were too many separate events within the event to go into. I can just tell you we had an absolute blast. I saw Willie about 25 yrs with my Mother in Corpus Christi, Tx. I will say he has toned down since then. but haven't we all? I know it seems like everyone who follows Willie or has met Willie has a connection with him and I'm sure they do.

I just feel that my connection is so much more genuine and only Willie will be the only one able to confirm this to be true.

I spent my summers growing up in Helotes,Tx. Where Willie used to play every Sat. Night at John T. Floors. When my mom and dad as high school sweethearts would sneak in to. A dance hall in downtown Helotes. This is when he had short hair and always wore a tie when he preformed. There is still a sign of "Willie Nelson Every Sat. Night" that is hung in front of Floor's entrance. Pretty cool. It gets much better.

From the time I was born to my earliest memory was from Medina lake where I lived the first 6 yrs of my life from 1973 thru 1978-79. Furthermore spent many summers there with family. The significants of this will be revealed when I tell all, my connection to him. I'm sure Willie won't be the one that reads this initially but he for sure would like to hear from me.

I tried to get to him at the concert but he is a rock star and it's tough to close enough to him to get his attention. I know he would have love to hear from me. And to hear the message I was sent to give him. Due to the tight security and the disbelief of who I am of the ones who manned the gates I was not able to catch Willie before he apparently left the scene. I tried everything to just get a message to him. Didn't even need to see him face to face. Just needed a message sent to him. I even offered $500.00 to a gate keeper to just relay a message to him. I was ultimately turned down. I felt I was under some pressure to make this happen and I was unsuccessful. This is one reason why I'm doing it this way. The person that is reading this I hope will have the compassion to make this happen. Getting this message to him.

The message I was sent with and who I am will now be explained.

First to tell you who my Mother is and the message she sent me to relay to him. She told me to tell him that I am the son of the person that not once, not twice but three times told her that "you are the prettiest girl in Texas"!! And for sure looked the part. She was at the ripe ages of 17-20 yrs old a knock out of a girl. Here name is Patricia Cullinane. Now if that doesn't ring a bell or bring back memories the next paragraph will. My mother Patricia Cullinane is the sister-in-law to Linda Stewart(my only Aunt). Now we are getting to the connection that I have with Willie. My Aunt Linda(Stewart) is the daughter of your(willie's) very first promoter, CRASH STEWART. Us kids growing up called him "Papa Crash". We would go to his place on Medina every summer and many yrs after he had passed away and swim and enjoy the lake. My only two first cousins Jeff and Tim and I would and do talk about "Papa Crash's" successes and the exclusive life he led. In our eyes he is a

"Revolutionary". I grew up looking thru a roll-a-dex(that Aunt Linda still has)that was Crash's. It has names, phone numbers, addresses and other personal information of all the, now famous people. Charlie Pride was one of them and of course Willie and many others that Crash promoted. This was something that I would forward to checking out when I would go and stay with Grandma who is another person you(willie) could never forget for she was Crash's wife Barbara. My Aunt Linda's mother. Us cousins have grown up and have the stories of our parent's experiences with willie. He has been an indirect influence on all of us growing up and still does. We are honored to be a relative to the man that saw Willie Nelson's potential when he first started, and had a hand in his success. way back when.

I can't go without mentioning One more name you would remember from those days. That is. Jackie Stewart, My Aunt Linda's sweet sister for which I have a picture of you and her together. Not as a photo opp. but rather casually hanging out. Of course you know of her passing many yrs ago. She was gorgeous.

I was instructed by My Aunt Linda to get a message to you(willie)an update of her Mother Barbara. and Step dad Joe Turner. Joe passed away last month. Barbara is now widowed and is being cared for by Aunt Linda. And that her husband my Uncle Tommy Cullinane( my moms brother)is living with Alzheimer's. She has been awarded the first award from scott and white hospital "Hero of the year" award for taking such good care of Tommy and Barbara.

We are very proud of her. I was instructed to relay all this to you. This is information that we thought you would appreciate us giving you. On top of all this. I've wanted to tell you how much I have admired your success and to see the person my family has so many memories and the fact that Papa Crash or Crash Stewart helped in your success story.

Unfortunately I was not successful getting this to Willie(you)

Maybe songkick or the person that is reading this review for willie will help me get this to him. My name is Scott Taylor and I currently live in the highland lake area. I too would love to finally meet you and show you these pictures And tell you the stories that we have heard and told all my life. I appreciate your time and your attention to this review. My whole family appreciates it. You will always be family to us and a legend In our minds. Thank you Mr. Nelson. We hope to hear from you in Reference to Crash Stewart your first promoter.

My email is: [email protected]

P.s. I will be posting this letter to every possible outlet or link to get to Willie himself. Thanks again for your time.

Most in our group had a great time last night at Willie Nelson and Family, with opener Tennessee Jet. I say “most”, because others were less able to ignore a growing trend: people spending more time documenting their time at a show than actually being in the moment enjoying the show. This is not limited to the occasional snap of a pic, but taking group pictures with their backs to the stage, selecting the perfect shot, posting it to social media and discussing the responses. STOP IT PEOPLE!

Now for the show. Willie was, well, Willie. Yes he’s in his eighties, and no longer possesses the vocal range of his youth, but he has found new ways to express the soul of the words that if anything, allow one to rethink a tune they’ve long since committed to soulless, rote memory. And his guitar playing? Masterful, and still so uniquely his. If Id been led blindfolded into the venue, I would have known at the strum of the first cord who I was hearing. The band, friends and family, complemented him perfectly, neither overstepping nor understating the partnerships.

Some complained the show was short and there was no encore, but I think if they review the setlist, they’ll note there were many tunes; there was just not any meaningless banter and the whole encore routine is kinda tired anyway.

To those signed up to see a show to come. You'll have a great time, if you limit your in-show screen time.

The concert was pure Heaven! Willie was absolutely amazing! He walked right out, picked up Trigger and he did not stop! It was one classic memory after another! His son Micah stood to his right, there was a bass player, a snare drummer and a guy that played the harmonica, together they played flawlessly! The sound was magical ! I was worried the quality of Willie’s music would have been less than standard because of his age....but he left me wanting nothing! When he played Trigger, his fingers floated across the strings and could be described as nothing but pure perfection. I must say that hearing children laugh, waves on the beach and Willie play his guitar are my top three favorite sounds to hear. Last night was a dream come true. I will cherish this memory for the rest of my life. I smiled through the entire concert, and honestly, I am smiling now. Thank you Willie Nelson!

Now, the opening act was a lady named Cassidy Daniels and she was a doll! Her sound is an updated Janis Joplin, and I totally want to hear more from her!

Seeing Willie Nelson was A big check off of my bucket list! Getting to hear Cassidy Daniels for the first time was icing on my cupcake!

Theres no doubt Willie Nelson is a true country legend. I was in awe of him as he took the stage at the age of 79. Thats right 79 years old, quite a feat. He certainly didn't show his age as he entertained the audience for the best part of 2 hours.

The venue was large and had an equally large stage, it was in no way intimate. It was, however a largely a laid back affair, he sang numerous country and blues tracks, many of them I wasn't overly familiar with but Willie and his band performed them flawlessly. The audience largely watched in a silent admiration as he lead the band throughout and sang old tails of loss and sorrow that are cliche of the genre that made him a superstar. There were shouts of approval and cheers as the band kicked things up a couple of gears and started jamming and improvising at various point though out the show. Between tracks he told stories of his childhood in his naive Texas and was comical and charming performer. It was a very bluesy set but of course his greatest hits were all played. Leaving “You Were Always On My Mind” as the grand finale. A wonderful show by one of the greats of country music.

Willie Nelson, an icon on the country music scene is still touring almost 60 years since he first began as an artist. It is a credit to his musicianship and showmanship that he is able to still delight crowds all over the States with his melodic, classic sounds.

Willie has been releasing music solidly and consistenly since his very first album 'And Then I Wrote' in 1962 and with a discography that now stands at 62 albums and 110 singles, it may seem like an impossible feat to choose a setlist. However Nelson's enthusiasm and charm as a musician means the crowd are submissive to anything he plays as to see this icon perform live is a treat in itself.

After all these years though, Nelson knows the likes of 'Rainy Day Blues' and 'Bloody Mary Morning' still get his audience clapping and singing along as his slick band perform renditions of these much loved tracks. A sincere performance of his most international hit 'Always On My Mind' makes the audience realise that despite his age of 81, there is no place Nelson would rather be than onstage entertaining his crowd.

Still rocks it on stage. He walked out as cool as you like, picked up trigger and launched into whiskey river. Did all the favorites including my favorite Angel Flying too close to the ground. Ends up signing photos and pictures and albums for 15 minutes at rue end of the show. A true gent.

Here's his set list

Whiskey river

Still is still moving

Whiskey for my men

Good hearted women

Time just slips away

Night life ain't good life

Me and Paul

You got the money I got the time

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

Angels flying too close

On the road again

Always on my mind.

Sweet baby's arms

Georgia on my mind

Instrumental with Willie and bobby

Hey good looking

Move it on over

Show shiner man

Roll me up and smoke me

I'll fly away

What a disappointment... I'm still a Willie fan, but he spoke through the songs more than he sang them, and the arrangements on all of the songs was such that he sounded like he was rushing through the lyrics. Also, the arrangement for almost every song was such that, other than the lyrics, they all sounded pretty much the same. I'm sure I'll draw flames from the die hard Willie fans, but I would have been better off staying home and letting a true, die hard fan take my seat. Kudos to Willie for still kicking it out, but maybe its time to consider doing more recording than touring.

The Outlaw Music fedtival 2017 was a fabulous show!! The whole line up was fantastic. I didn't know a few artists with Willie but of course all were above average and so great to listen to! We had a great time - Eric Church surprised everyone by an awesome solo acoustic performance, Sheryl Crow amazing - and Willie never ever disappoints. The song choices were all I could have hoped for, singing with his family- just loved the night!!! Only wish I could have been done front to have a shot at Gettjng Willies hat as he threw it to the audience!

Arrived in South Carolina to the arena to a sign saying the show was cancelled. I called the ticket vender to ask about the tickets. They said the could not confirm that the show was cancelled at that would attempt to find ot in 72 hours and the "might" email me.

So I can't review the show. I may have to litigate. They said they may not be able to refund. So I may make a criminal complaint. Or more simply..

Got my lawyers number saved in my phone.

We had an excellent time. It was great to see Willie so energetic and he played non stop. I hadn't seen him in quite a few years. The show seemed to end a little earlier than expected and I was a little disappointed that Lucas wasn't there but overall it was great! The crowd was great and everyone was happy to sing along. My mother has been a fan for years and this was her 1st time seeing him live, I'm so glad I got her the tickets for her birthday.

Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic lands in the Philadelphia area for the first time

SPICEWOOD, Texas (AP) — Willie Nelson 's Fourth of July Picnic is two-stepping out of Texas to the Philadelphia area.

The country luminary's mostly annual mega-concert, hosted in his native Texas for most of its 50-year-history, will be held for the first time in the Northeast this July, with a bill that includes Bob Dylan and the duo of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey.

The open air amphitheater is just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia.

The lineup also includes Mavis Staples , Maren Morris and Celisse . Tickets go on sale Friday.

The giant patriotic party that Nelson first threw in 1973 has made occasional forays outside the Lone Star State, to Tulsa, Oklahoma; Kansas City; Atlanta and, most recently, to South Bend, Indiana in 2009. With the exception of virtual concerts in 2020 and 2021, it's been held in Austin for the past decade.

At 90, Nelson has not slowed the constant touring, recording and performing he's kept up for more than six decades. Last April he was feted for his birthday with two nights of tribute concerts at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and in November he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame .

What Willie Nelson song you are based on your summer plans

Willie Nelson, country singer-songwriter and Austin cultural icon, boasts a collection of soulful songs, well-suited for any scenario. In honor of Nelson’s upcoming summer debut, The Border, The Daily Texan compiled a list of Willie Nelson songs to accompany Longhorns’ summer plans.

Traveling/Studying Abroad: “On the Road Again”

A love letter to Nelson’s life on tour, “On the Road Again,” is a classic road trip ballad for adventurers to sing along with. Best experienced with the volume turned up and windows rolled down, this song proves a necessary addition to Longhorns’ travel playlists. 

Graduating: “Funny How Time Slips Away”

As the semester comes to a close, a new group of Longhorns prepare to become Texas Exes. One of Nelson’s earliest songs, “Funny How Time Slips Away” proves the perfect comfort song for soon-to-be graduates reflecting on college memories. 

Summer Classes: “Nothing I Can Do About It Now”

Many Longhorns will continue their hard work during summer classes. “Nothing I Can Do About It Now” is an upbeat song about acceptance, bound to motivate and uplift tired students.

Training for a Sport: “Beer for My Horses”

Texas Athletics faces a major shift as they prepare to join the SEC on July 1. For the Longhorn athletes dedicating their break to summer training, “Beer for My Horses” is the perfect tune to inspire a game-day mindset. 

Internship/Summer Job: “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to Be Cowboys”

“Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to Be Cowboys” tells a cautionary tale about the difficult lifestyle cowboys experience. One of Nelson’s most popular songs, this classic tune is a great choice to start off the work day, encouraging Longhorns to “be doctors and lawyers and such.”

Summer Fling: “Moment of Forever”

To many, no summer vacation feels complete without a little bit of romance. For those who desire a summer fling, “Moment of Forever” tenderly encapsulates the experience of fleeting love.  

Going Home: “I’ll Be Seeing You”

Although many students disperse back home for the summer, their presence lingers on the Forty Acres. “I’ll Be Seeing You,” a ballad about separation and missing loved ones, provides a timeless comfort song for Longhorns ready to see their friends “in all the old familiar places” this fall. 

Staying in Austin: “Live Every Day”

Whether tanning by Barton Springs, listening to live music at Blues on the Green or finding an undiscovered local hangout, Austin has everything needed for an unforgettable summer. “Live Every Day,” from Nelson’s 2022 album A Beautiful Time, is the perfect song to sing arm-in-arm with friends, embodying the sentimental spirit of summer in Austin.

In 1986, Willie Nelson designed and built a town in Texas. Architects at Cushing Terrell just restored it.

Phases and Stages

Willie Nelson—folk legend, guitarist, outlaw, chain smoker, freedom fighter, town planner?

That’s correct. The pop-up town of Luck is a short drive from Austin , Texas designed by Nelson for a 1986 full-length film he produced and starred in, Red Headed Stranger , that was never torn down after production ended. Luck is an Old West Potemkin Village of sorts that can easily be confused with the fictional town of Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles starring Mel Brooks, Cleavon Little, and Gene Wilder.

In the film, Willie Nelson plays a shotgun-toting pastor who’s come to Luck to restore order in the lawless abode. Nelson’s Texas utopia features a dirt road for dueling with six-shooters, a Saloon where cowboys with ten-gallon hats smash glasses over each other’s heads, a general store, a jail, a chapel where Nelson delivers sermons, and Opry House, a fictional music venue.

Red Headed Stranger ’s set design, and the fictional town of Luck more broadly, wasn’t exactly built to last however. Architects from Cushing Terrell were brought on to fortify the makeshift town into a functional performing arts and hospitality venue that can host up to 4,000 guests and exist in perpetuity.

Phase one of the project sought out to make the Saloon and Opry House into usable spaces, which came to a close last September. “We converted a movie set Old West-style saloon into a functional event venue while keeping the magic in tact. Generations will share a part of Willie Nelson’s legacy every time a note comes off that stage,” said Bill Ball, the general contractor. “It’s hoped that the light design touch on the Opry House keeps the wonderment alive for future musicians, audiences, and family,” Ball continued.

Cushing Terrell delivered a 642-square-foot addition for back-of-house operations to the 1,340-square-foot Opry House, an intimate space with a stage, dance floor, and whiskey bar. While the Opry House isn’t historic per se, the architects approached the building as though it was a preservation landmark.

In their restoration, Cushing Terrell stayed true as possible to the original’s wood-clad walls, floors, and exposed wood trusses. “Looking at the Opry building from the outside, it’s hard to tell that we did anything at all and that was the point,” said Cushing Terrell’s lead architect Alexander Bingham.

Today, a lonesome dirt road connects visitors to Luck from Austin. Over 70 rescued horses were brought into the 500-acre Luck Ranch, both a humanitarian and aesthetic choice to heighten the town’s cinematic virtues. Visitors know they’ve arrived at Luck, which doubles as Willie Nelson’s world headquarters, when they see a Hollywood-style sign that spells out LUCK in an old western–influenced typeface.

“Luck Ranch isn’t about logic or practicality. It’s about capturing a spirit of Texas and a manifestation of how Willie would like to see the world,” stated a project narrative.

Construction at Luck happened just in time for Willie Nelson’s annual Luck Reunion which invites over 35 bands to play for the public. Phase two of the project to restore more buildings in Luck will commence in the coming months.

Willie Nelson House: Photos of His Texas Horse Ranch & Hawaii Mansion in Maui

• Willie Nelson has lived on his 300-acre Spicewood Texas property since 1983 – Willie Neslon house photos below!
• Nelson owns a tropical getaway home in Maui where he often hosts celeb-packed poker games.
• Willie Nelson has his own brand of weed known as Willie’s Reserve.
• The music icon has amassed a reported net worth of $25 million as of 2020.

Willie Hugh Nelson is an iconic American musician and activist who spent his early career as a struggling singer and songwriter. In his youth, Nelson worked in everything from door-to-door bible sales to acting as an on-air disc jockey for a Vancouver radio station. During that time, Willie continued to record music and even sold some of his songs to help pay the bills but struggled to find a label who would sign him. In the 1960s, however, Nelson would meet songwriter Hank Cochran, who convinced his record company, Pamper Music, to sign Nelson. Willie would go on to act as the bassist for singer Ray Price before signing with Liberty Records in 1961. His first two major hits “Willingly” and “Touch Me” were recorded only a year later. So, with introductions out of the way, it’s time to get to the good stuff – like the Willie Nelson home in Texas and Willie Nelson house Maui. Keep reading for the full scoop below!

Where Does Willie Nelson Live?

Willie Nelson currently resides at his 13,691 square foot home in Spicewood Texas. The outlaw country singer purchased the home in the early 80s and has lived there primarily ever since. In addition to his Texas residence, Nelson also owns an incredible home in Hawaii!

In addition to his skills as a singer-songwriter, Willie Nelson also has a skill many aren’t aware of – that being his ability to keep his private life private. Because of this, little is actually known about his longtime home in Spicewood, Texas.

What we have learned is that the property features 4-bathrooms and around 13,691 square feet of living space. The home, built in 1983, features a swimming pool and a massive enclosure likely used for his many rescue horses.

With nearly 300 acres of land, all of which is encased by lush trees features plenty of nature trails perfect for horseback riding and hiking.

Nelson also owns The Pedernales Country Club, a golf course less than 10 minutes from his home!

The property is currently valued at $3.9 million as of 2022, according to Realtor.com.

While most fans of this longtime country music legend likely already know about and have seen photos of Willie Nelson house Maui, there’s been a lot of confusion as to his actual home there.

In reality, Willie Nelson has owned this incredible 6,038 square foot home since 1983, when he purchased it for $450,000.

Built in 1935, the property sits on a 0.84 acre lot only steps from the beach! The home boasts 6-bedrooms and 6-bathrooms as well as an outdoor swimming pool that’s tucked away at the center of the residence.

Nelson has been known to host some pretty awesome poker games at the residence with celebrities such as Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson. Many of those lucky (or unlucky) enough to get an invite to these weed-filled, HIGH stakes poker games have ended up losing large chunks of cash to Nelson at the table.

Only 4 minutes away from his Spicewood estate, Willie Nelson also owns a sprawling Texas ranch he lovingly coined “Lucky Ranch.” When speaking about the name, Nelson said “when you come here, you’re in Luck, when you leave, you’re out of Luck.”

Luck ranch boasts a staggering 700 acres of land, most of which is dedicated to Willie’s rescue horses.

Over 70 horses, rescued by Nelson from slaughterhouses, live and roam freely on the land.

One could say these adorable 4-legged friends who occupy this incredible property are seriously lucky!

Named the “Me and Paul Bus” after Willie’s family band drummer, Paul English, this 1983 Eagle bus played host to Nelson and fellow bandmates while on tour for years.

Stepping into the tour bus, you’ll instantly be greeted with a funky purple interior carpeting and driver’s seat! 

Further inside, you’ll find a spacious lounge area that features 2 comfy bench seats that stretch the length of the space. It seems the idea behind the design was to replicate a wagon from the old west.

Just off the lounge, a door leads you into the bunks, where Nelson and band members slept on those long drives across the country during tours.

In addition to helping the band make it to every show, the bus also acted as a hangout spot for Nelson and some other famous names in the music industry. Famous country singer, Toby Keith, even wrote a song allegedly inspired by one of his visits to the bus titled “I Will Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again.”

The bus was purchased in 2014 for $100,000 by Austin locals, Taylor Perkins and Michael Tashnick, who originally planned to rent the bus via their business, Vintage Innovations.

Due to time constraints, however, the duo ended up actually auctioning the bus for $76,500.00. While it may not look like much in comparison to modern tour busses, this is one incredible piece of music history!

Early Willie Nelson Music

Willie Nelson has written numerous songs over the years, even selling songs to musicians early on that ended up being massive hits, like “The Family Bible.”

Nelson created his first record in 1956 titled “No Place for Me” that featured “Lumberjack” by Leon Payne on its B-side, but the album was a flop. Thankfully, this didn’t deter Nelson from pursuing his dreams of making it big in the music industry.

In 1975, Willie Nelson would finally get his big break with the hit song “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” a song off of his Red Headed Stranger album that would make #1 on pop charts and a huge hit in the country music world.

Willie Nelson Net Worth

So, how much is Willie Nelson worth? The country music legend has reportedly amassed a net worth of $25 million, according to reports in 2020.

Willie Nelson Weed

It’s no secret that Willie Nelson has had a lifelong love affair with Mary Jane, a relationship that began when he first partook a toke at a Forth Worth roadside bar in 1954.

His love of weed-inspired songs, including the hilarious “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die” as well as a weed company, Willie’s Reserve, that offers weed products in states where marijuana is legal. The business was launched in 2015.

Nelson had all the media outlets buzzing when he announced in 2019 that he had actually stopped smoking weed. According to his son, however, his dad is still enjoying a healthier relationship with his favorite plant by way of edibles and other non-smoking weed products.

Is Willie Nelson Native American?

Yes! Willie Nelson does have Native American ancestry in his family by way of his mother, Myrle Marie Greenhaw, who was 3-quarters Cherokee.

Nelson has been an outspoken advocate for the American Indian nation for decades.

How Old Is Willie Nelson?

Ever wonder about Willie Nelson age? The singer-songwriter was born April 29, 1933.

Seems like something in Willie’s Reserve weed is working wonders for Nelson given that the man doesn’t look like he’s aged in the last 10 years!

Willie Nelson Height

How tall is Willie Nelson, you ask? The singer stands at 5-feet and 6-inches!

Following her departure from longtime home Sony Music Nashville last year, Miranda Lambert has signed a new deal with Republic Records . Nashville’s Big Loud will provide country radio promotion and marketing efforts as part of its partnership with the Universal Music Group-owned label.

“Miranda Lambert’s legacy as both a consummate storyteller and legendary performer speaks for itself. Her new music is spectacular and we are thrilled and honored to welcome her to Republic Records in partnership with Big Loud,” added Monte Lipman.

Lambert added that the move has been inspiring. “Having a new home has given me a hunger I didn’t realize I still had inside me,” she said. “This song feels like it could be on the same record as ‘Gunpowder & Lead’; it has that same fury. I can’t wait to get out there with this new label and this new music… Monte Lipman and his team fire me up!” 

“Gunpower & Lead,” featured on Lambert’s second album, 2007’s  Crazy Ex-Girlfriend , became her first top 10 hit on Billboard ’s Hot Country Songs chart. 

There’s no word on when Lambert will drop a new album, but Republic president/COO Jim Roppo said in a statement, “As she puts the final touches on her fantastic new body of work, it has all the hallmarks of her signature sound, yet she continues to push herself as a songwriter, producer and performer. We’re all at the beginning of a very special moment, and we’re grateful to be on this journey with her.”

Lambert, the most awarded artist by the Academy of Country Music Awards, recently wrapped her residency in Las Vegas and will be on the road through September, during which time she will headline several music festivals.
