MEL TILLIS: A TRUE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN
Harken back to Country's golden era with the original 'Coca Cola Cowboy' Mel Tillis, the Outlaw singer songwriter who overcame a childhood stutter to become a highly successful performer. With an old-school charm and a sharp suit, Tillis has one of Nashville's most enduring personalities and a deep, storytelling baritone of a voice that offers style and substance over the bro-country currently monopolising the airwaves.
Tillis first debuted on the scene in the 1950s as the songwriting partner of Webb Pierce, but made waves in the late 60s and 70s with an arsenal of solo hits including 'I Ain't Never' and 'Good Woman Blues'. He hasn't slowed down since - for a man in his early eighties, the crooner still certainly has 'it'. Perhaps one of the last of the true Country Gentleman, Tillis entertains the crowd in between songs with anecdotes and stories from his vibrant life, imbuing each concert with an infectious joie de vivre. Don't miss out on seeing this living legend in action!
