Celebrating the remarkable career and enduring legacy of the "Red Headed Stranger," this performance is a journey through the heart and soul of American music. ZB Savoy is a veteran singer, songwriter and performer out of California and has been a forever fan of Willie’s life and music. His show celebrates both the wide breadth of music Nelson has recorded and the classic country genre that he and his pals forged in the early 70s. ZB delves into the rich history and profound impact of this timeless music blending entertainment, education, and good ole fashion honky tonkin’. ZB’s all-star band features Bobby Furgo on piano and fiddle (Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton), Danny Campbell on drums (Bob Weir, Phyllis Diller), bassist Patrick McClory (The Red Headed Strangers, Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash) and Ben Zinn (Earl Thomas, Stacey Antonel) on pedal steel and electric guitar.

Presented by Soda Bar All ages event at Quartyard - San Diego. Vincent Neil Emerson has become a staple among folk and country music fans nationwide, celebrated for his honest tales of life on the road, heartbreak, and struggles of all sorts. His first LP, "Fried Chicken & Evil Women," from 2019, established him as a refreshing voice in the modern country music landscape. The songs from that first album were charming and playful songs, but didn't reveal the entirety of Emerson's story. On his brilliant new album, "The Golden Crystal Kingdom," Emerson transcends the role of a honky-tonk country singer and becomes a chronicler of his history. The album is a bold continuation of the story he tells on Vincent Neil Emerson, with songs like the title track exploring the feelings he was left with after his days spent playing in Texas honky-tonks and dancehalls, and the track "The Time of The Rambler," inspired by the early days of living in his car and busking on the streets.
