On December 3rd, longtime Willie Nelson harmonica player Mickey Raphael will make his debut headlining concert at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville. Raphael, who has been a member of Nelson’s performing collective since 1973, has also appeared with Chris Stapleton, Johnny Cash, Bob Weir, Emmylou Harris, Ringo Starr, Jason Isbell and many, many others. He will be backed by Chris Stapleton’s band, The Honchos.

A number of guests will sit-in over the course of the evening. Margo Price, T Bone Burnett, Waylon Payne and Bill Evans have all been confirmed. Additional musicians who have collaborated with Raphael will likely appear as well.

A portion of proceeds from the star-studded show will directed to Outlaw State of Kind, a charity founded by Chris and Morgane Stapleton. Tickets are now onsale.
