Dale Watson and His Lone Stars Live
2026-05-16 19:30 - 22:00 | The NED, 314 East Main Street, Jackson, TN, 38301, United States
Dale Watson is a living legend of American roots music. With Texas-sized defiance and drive, he’s spent four decades flying the flag for his own brand of honky-tonk, outlaw country, western swing, and rockabilly. That signature sound has a name — “Ameripolitan” — and its originator is Watson himself: a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, actor, cultural architect, and rule-breaking traditionalist for the modern world, championing the traditions that fly in the face of the homogenous mainstream.
With Unwanted, he fires another double-barreled shotgun blast of country twang and honky-tonk bang fueled by the heartaches, hard-won lessons, and high-speed thrills of a life largely logged on the road. Singing with a booming voice that could cut through the chaos of a packed dancehall, Watson runs the show like a roots-rock ringleader. He salutes his vices on the galloping “Willie Waylon and Whiskey,” reflects upon a lifetime of loss with the gorgeous ballad “If You Really Loved Me (Outlive Me),” and gets wistfully contemplative on “Life is Like a Song.” Entirely written and produced by Watson, Unwanted is the sound of an Ameripolitan diehard with plenty of life left in the tank, speeding toward a horizon of his own making.
Tickets: $20
Doors Open: 6 PM
Show Starts: 7:30 PM
