This might be the first incoming announcement I've ever posted where I think it's possible that the artist might die before the show. A macabre thought, to be sure, but Ray Price turns 84 next Tuesday.
The man is a living legend, and his first number one country single came over 50 years ago, with 1956's "Crazy Arms." Price is also the man who originally recorded songs that have since become country standards, like "Make the World Go Away," "Heartaches By the Number," and "City Lights."
The show at Knuckleheads on Friday, May 21 runs a cool $37.50 for advance tickets, but you also get Dale Watson and Dallas Wayne on the bill. I'm unfamiliar with Wayne's material, but Watson is a honky-tonker nonpareil.
This is the country show of the year. We were fortunate enough to have George Jones, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard pass through last year, and unless Bocephus hits the area, this is probably it for you classic country fans.
