Free Willie!
Willie Nelson and Family celebrate the reopening of Carl’s Corner biodiesel truckstop with a free concert July 3. Also on the bill are Merle Haggard and Ray Price. Donations to the Freddy Powers Parkinson Organization (FPPO) are urged, but not required for admission.
Wilie’s Place at Carl’s Corner, as the truckstop has been newly christened, is about 140 miles north of Austin on I-35. The July 3 show runs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with a lot of opening acts.
David Allan Coe and Ray Wylie Hubbard will also play free shows at Carl’s Whiskey River Saloon on July 1 and 2. Willie and Family get the whole thing started with a private benefit concert June 30.
