Dale Watson LIVE at Wabasha Riverboat Days!

Dale Watson, keeper of the true county music flame, is an Austin-based honky-tonker carrying on the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson with his “Ameripolitan” brand of American roots music. He has flown the flag for classic honky-tonk for over two decades. The Alabama-born, Texas-raised Watson may be the hardest working entertainer today and is rapidly approaching legendary status.
