Perhaps the greatest Super Group in country music history, the original Highwaymen formed in 1985, consisted of Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash. Combining their unique approaches to life and recording, they traveled the world performing old style country music to millions of fans.
With a youthful fervor that equaled their younger contemporaries, these Highwaymen entertained their audiences far and wide, performing many of their biggest hits to sold out audiences around the world. In 1995 during the filming of their critically acclaimed DVD special, The Road Goes on Forever, Kris was asked, "What made the band so special?" His response? "Well, all of us including myself have always done things our own way. Sometimes it's made people angry but it's the one thing that's kept us all true to ourselves."
That spirit is the central theme to this recreation of that amazing, never to be seen again band. All of the performers in The Highwaymen – A Musical Tribute deliver an earnest tribute to each of these world famous country music superstars. Your audience will sit in amazement as each song, one hit after another, is sung just as if they were seeing the original band perform in 1985. They will witness first hand the friendship and comradery that existed between these legends and it will allow them to relive one of the greatest moments in country music history.
The 75 minute show is full of the upbeat, honky-tonk hits you know and love. "Folsom Prison Blues", "Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys", "On the Road Again", and "Me and Bobbi McGee" are only a few of the classic songs your audience will know and love. Go back in time when country music represented the true America we all knew and loved. When a man's word was his bond and a women's honor was something to fight for. Relive the glory days of the American frontier when country music was made by Good Men, Country Men, the Highwaymen.
