PRIOR LAKE MARCH 9, 2015 ­ American icon and country music legend, Willie Nelson and Family will take the stage at the Mystic Showroom at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 16.

With a career spanning six decades and with 60 albums, country legend Willie Nelson is the creative genius behind the historic recordings of Crazy, Red Headed Stranger, Hello Walls and Stardust. The release of Red Headed Stranger in 1975 propelled him into the country music stratosphere, with his offbeat phrasing, distinctive nasal tones and hippie-styled look setting a new standard in outlaw country music. Nelson rose to the top of the charts with Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain, On The Road Again and Always On My Mind. He has received numerous accolades including eight Grammys, a Presidents Merit Award, Grammy Legend Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, Kennedy Center Honor and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993.

Nelson has appeared in over thirty films and TV shows including The Electric Horseman and Honeysuckle Rose. He has written seven books with his new book, Its a Long Story, set for release in May. Besides an acclaimed songwriter, musician and entertainer, Nelson is active in a number of issues, including Americas family farmers which led him to co-found Farm Aid in 1985. In 2013, he celebrated more than 40 years on the road and in the studio with Family, the band he formed with his sister, Bobbie Nelson along with Paul English and Mickey Raphael.
