Not much beats a trip to Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas, but for those of us who can’t make it to the next sold-out show, there’s an ever-expanding collection of live concert videos from the legendary venue on YouTube. Here are a few of the best.
There’s nothing more Texan than seeing Willie Nelson in Texas’ Oldest Dance Hall. Watch this clip of his classic set opener for a peek at the legendary barebones backstage entrance.
Jerry Jeff Walker
“Pickup Truck Song”
Jerry Jeff Walker has been a Gruene Hall mainstay for years, and this charmingly loose performance from his 1989 comeback live album showcases the love between performer and audience that’s kept him hosting his annual birthday celebration there for decades.
I’m With Her
“See You Around”
Singer-songwriter and Wimberly native Sarah Jarosz has built a national following since breaking out of Central Texas, most recently with her Americana supergroup, I’m With Her, which took the stage earlier this year for a captivating homecoming performance.
Joe Ely
“Musta Notta Gotta Lotta”
This fiery 1982 clip shows Ely and his band, fresh off a tour with the Clash, flying through the new-wave rockabilly that made their live shows legendary.
Willie Nelson and Annie Nelson launch Willie’s Rescue CBD products for pets.

“Hemp is good choice for pets like it is good choice for humans. Because every kind of mammal has an endocannibinoid system,” the site explains.
“Many people have already discovered hemp for pets. Folks have been using it to help their animal buddies as a supplement throughout the day.”
‘Willie’s Rescue’ is a collaborative project between Willie and his wife Annie, who, for years, have been advocates for animal rescue. The company are set to donate a portion of every sale to community animal rescue groups.
“Most animal rescuers are volunteers, doing it out of love. They’re paying vet bills out of their own pockets. But still, they’re out there, all the time, helping people and animals who need each other to find one another,” the website reads. “It’s beautiful. This is our way of saying thank you and keep up the good work.”
The products are set to launch this week in Las Vegas at SuperZoo. They’re expected to hit stores early next year.
Because of the face
Because of the love they give us
Because t hey don’t mind that we sometimes dress them up as
dinosaurs, tacos or even as Willie Nelson.
Because off sloppy kisses
Because they never judge us
Because they’re our best friends.
Because they’re family.
Be Willie kind to animals

Willie Nelson set to resume tour in September

BRIARCLIFF, Texas – Country music legend Willie Nelson will be back on tour in September following the cancellation of several shows in August.
“A lot of shows in a row and I’d been stuck on that bus,” Nelson told KSAT’s Paul Venema. “I couldn’t get off that bus so I felt like I was in jail and I wasn’t feeling good so I said ‘I think I’ll go home.’”
That meant heading to his 700-acre Hill Country ranch near San Antonio.
Asked if he had seen a doctor, Nelson chuckled and said, “Went to one yesterday and he said, ‘Don’t make any long-range plans.”
Seriously, he said, the checkup went well and, except for chronic breathing problems that he’s had for decades, he is in good shape.
Nelson turned 86 in April. Always quick with a smile, he laughs when anyone suggests that he slow down.
“When they turn 86, they can tell me anything they want to,” he said. “But until they get there, they just ought to cool it.”
He said that his long-term plans are simple.
“Keep singin’, keep writin’,” he said. “That’s what keeps me goin’.”
