Outlaw Music Festival: Willie Nelson, The Avett Brothers, Black Pumas & Larkin Poe at Shoreline Amphitheatre

Willie Nelson’s 72nd studio album, A Beautiful Time, was released in April 2022 on his 89th birthday. It includes original songs by Nelson, as well as covers of the Beatles and Leonard Cohen. Charting at number 100 on the Billboard 200 and number 13 on the Top Country Albums chart it was considered universally successful with Stephen Thomas Erlewine at AllMusic praising the album's "earned wisdom and wry humor," concluding that "it's still a marvel to hear him find sustenance and surprises within his music"

The inaugural Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016 in Scranton, PA. The sold-out show was so well received that Nelson developed it into one of North America’s biggest annual touring franchises. Musicians such as Robert Plant, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Church, Bonnie Raitt, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Sturgill Simpson, The Avett Brothers and many more have been a part of the Outlaw Tour, sharing unforgettable music memories and unique vendor villages with local food, drinks and shopping in amphitheaters across the country.

Singers, guitarists and pianists, Scott and Seth Avett, are the Avett Brothers, along with bass and violinist Bob Crawford and cellist Joe Kwon, plus touring members, drummer Mike Marsh, fiddle player Tania Elizabeth, and pianist Bonnie Avett-Rini. The group released their latest project, and third in their Gleam series, The Gleam III, in August 2020.
