August 12th at 7:30 Boardwalk Productions Presents: Outlaw Country: Before the Outlaws

Before the term Outlaw Country became a movement, a group of fiercely independent songwriters were already reshaping country music from the ground up. Rejecting the polished Nashville sound of the time, these artists wrote songs that were raw, poetic, rebellious, and deeply human.

Outlaw Country: Before the Outlaws is a live celebration of the legendary writers and performers who helped spark that revolution. Featuring the music of Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Blaze Foley, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Billy Joe Shaver, Emmylou Harris, Nanci Griffith, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, and Rodney Crowell, the show explores the stories, friendships, and songs that laid the foundation for the outlaw movement.

With heartfelt performances and a deep respect for the songwriting craft, this evening brings audiences back to the smoke-filled listening rooms, Texas dance halls, and late-night songwriter circles where these timeless songs were born.

Join us for a night of unforgettable music that celebrates the spirit, grit, and poetry of country music’s most influential rebels.
