The Highwaymen
8-5-2023 (Ballroom)
Longtime New England musician/author Matt York will perform the songs of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings and tell stories of their careers. The four songwriting legends joined forces in the 1980's to form the country supergroup The Highwaymen. However, prior to that, they'd each established themselves as stars and their careers intersected many times since the 1960's.
More than a one-person “tribute” band, he performs songs made famous by The Highwaymen performing as a group, as well as the popular and often beloved songs associated with the performers’ individual careers. He also tells their stories.
“I basically try to tell stories about these guys’ careers and perform their songs solo,” York said. “I don’t dress in black,” he adds, alluding to Cash’s habitual concert attire. “The awesome thing is, the catalogue of the four of them had so many songs.”
York was recently nominated for the Boston Music Award for Best Country Artist and his album “Gently Used” was just named one of Worcester Magazine's best albums of 2022.
He also wrote a book “The Highwaymen’s Songs and Stories,” and sells it at performances.
