Ray Price reschedules Austin show following surgery
Ray Price is out and Mel Tillis in on July 17 at the One World Theater.
Price’s agent Bobby Roberts told the Associated Press the 83-year-old Price was admitted to a hospital in Texas on June 22 for routine medical tests when a colonoscopy revealed a large number of polyps in the pre-cancerous stage. The polyps were successfully removed the next day, according to Roberts. Price is resting at his home near Mount Pleasant.
His show at the One World has been rescheduled for Sept. 25.
Tickets purchased for the original date of the Ray Price & Dale Watson shows will be honored on this new date. Or patrons can get a refund.

Hot show! Roky and the R. Gamblers
Wednesday, July 15, marks the 34th anniversary of Antone’s nightclub. It’s also headliner Roky Erickson’s 62nd birthday, so it looks to be a special show.
But, wait, what if we threw in Riverboat Gamblers, Austin’s most over-the-top garage band? Plus, you never know who’s going to show up at Antone’s in July.
Tickets are available now at $20 plus service charge at Frontgate Tickets.
Other highlights at Antone’s this month:
Thursday 7/2- Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers with Shurman opening. Two great live acts.
Tuesday 7/7- Help Pinetop Perkins celebrate his 96th birthday. Marcia Ball is among those saluting the last of the original bluesmen.
Saturday 7/17- Hayes Carll is flying in from Canada to play.

We already miss Vibe magazine.
It is ceasing publication, say the fine people at Daily Finance.
