Join the Grand Casino Hotel & Resort this October 16 for country legends Willie Nelson and his guest, Kris Kristofferson.
If ever the words "living legend" were more than just public relations bluster, the application would be to Willie Nelson.
The iconic Texan is the creative genius behind historic recordings like "Crazy", "Hello Walls", "Red Headed Stranger", and "Stardust". His career has spanned six decades. His catalog boasts more than 200 albums. He's earned every conceivable award and honor to be bestowed a person in his profession. He has also amassed reputable credentials as an author, actor and activist.
Kris Kristofferson has always identified himself first and foremost as a writer, and true writers know that what works best is giving a piece of themselves to the listener.
Kristofferson's story is fairly well known: he had a dream- along with the necessary talent and ambition- to become a songwriter. After turning down a teaching job at West Point, the Rhodes Scholar hoped to get his foot in the door of the music business by taking a job as a janitor at Columbia Records. It wasn't long after arriving in Nashville that he was receiving armloads of acclaim and being hailed as one of America's clearest and most important voices, having penned such classics as "Me and Bobby McGee", "Sunny Morning Coming Down", "For the Good Times", and many others. Now Kristofferson has reached living legend status, but that hasn't changed or hindered his skills.
