Two Step into the world of country music legend Willie Nelson with ZB Savoy's "Songs of Willie Nelson" show. 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. The ensemble promises an unforgettable performance. Join us for a night of music, memories, and reverence for the one and only Willie Nelson. ZB Savoy on Facebook / Instagram
