“Let’s duet!”
The Valley hasn’t been short on Willie Nelson sightings this year, but The Railroad Revival Tour’s second go-round promises to deliver some signature Willie thrills with added bonuses: He’ll be joined in downtown Tempe on Thursday, October 25, by John C. Reilly (yeah, he sings too), Band of Horses, and Jamey Johnson.
It’s a good show among many scheduled for the Phoenix metro.
Trying to contain my excitement following the announcement of The Who, coming to Jobing.com Arena in February, is useless.
With the 40th anniversary of Quadrophenia this year, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltry are guaranteed to please both the diehard fans and those just tuning in, as there is no denying the album’s awesomeness and influence.
