This Tribute Tuesday, journey into the timeless songwriting of Townes Van Zandt—one of America’s most revered and influential folk troubadours.
A songwriter’s songwriter, Townes crafted songs of heartbreak, hope, wandering and redemption with a poetic honesty that has inspired generations of artists, from Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris to Steve Earle and Jason Isbell. Classics such as Pancho and Lefty, If I Needed You and To Live Is to Fly remain as powerful today as when they were first written.
Bringing these songs to life is Scott Hamilton, performing an evening dedicated to the remarkable catalogue of one of folk music’s true legends. Whether you’re a lifelong admirer or discovering Townes Van Zandt for the first time, this is a chance to experience the enduring beauty of his music in the intimate surrounds of The Drunken Poet.
