Willie Nelson + The Avett Brothers + Sheryl Crow + Margo Price

We'd be hard-pressed to think of a better way to spend a warm September evening than in the company of outlaw-country figurehead and genuine American institution Willie Nelson, who brings his road-sharped crew to New Jersey for a Southern throwdown of epic proportions. Our favorite openers on this mini-fest bill include North Carolina's Avett Brothers, formed around brothers Scott and Seth, who make anthemic, bluegrass-toned roots rock and multi-platinum-selling singer Crow, who summons Southern, ’90s-tinged vibes.
