Joe Ely with Paul Metsa
Sue McLean and Associates present
With a career spanning 18 albums, thousands of live performances, and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road over four decades, Joe Ely needs no introduction. Roll out the Lord of the Highway, King of the Honky-Tonk, torchbearer of nitro-fueled, tornado-twisted West Texas rock and roll. Cite Lubbock and Austin for giving him a unique sense of place.

Minnesota troubadour Paul Metsa opens.
