Legendary country musician Willie Nelson will make his Grand Opera House debut on Sunday, June 17 at 7 p.m. in Copeland Hall. The concert is presented in cooperation with SLP Concerts and WDSD Radio.

Mr. Nelson, who turns 79 today, has been a mainstay of country music and American culture for decades, with such classics as “On The Road Again,” “Always on My Mind,” “Crazy,” “Whiskey River,” and “Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain.”
