If anyone deserves two birthdays, it’s Willie Nelson. And this weekend marks his 90th!
Born around midnight in Abbott, TX, the American icon celebrates his birthday on both April 29 and 30. And since that eventful night occurred 90 years ago in 1933, we’re extending the occasion for an entire week on his exclusive SiriusXM channel, Willie’s Roadhouse (Ch. 59).
Beginning Monday, April 24, Willie’s extended family, friends, and Willie’s Roadhouse listeners and hosts will share birthday messages, special musical selections, and programming through Sunday, April 30.
Highlights of the birthday weekend itself will include a 90th birthday celebration from our LA Garage studio hosted by Willie’s daughter Paula Nelson along with fellow SiriusXM host and Outlaw Country royalty Shooter Jennings (son of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter), along with an audience of SiriusXM subscribers and some very special guests.
Willie’s 90th birthday weekend will also feature the broadcast premiere of a Willie Nelson & Family performance recorded last month at the Luck Reunion, held on his private ranch and Old West town in Luck, TX. Postponed by one day due to weather, the Luck Reunion concert was held on St. Patrick’s Day, with Willie joined on stage by his son Micah (aka, Particle Kid) and Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel, along with an all-star finale including Margo Price, William Prince, Tami Neilson, and more.
Other programming honouring Willie’s 90th will include special episodes of Ray Benson’s Austin Outer Limits and Sundays with Seely hosted by Jeannie Seely.
