🎸 HIGHWAYMEN – Great Outlaws Tribute Show
Presented by VaughnCo Entertainment

Ride back to the moment the Highwaymen were born. After a TV special taping in 1984, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson ended up jamming in a Swiss hotel — and a country supergroup was created.

This tribute brings their music, stories and spirit to the stage with the look and sound fans love. Hear classics like “Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys,” “Always on My Mind,” “Me and Bobby McGee” and “Folsom Prison Blues.” 🎶🤠

Settle in for a night that feels like one big encore. ✨
