Willie Nelson and a long list of his talented buddies will hit the stage today, Thursday, March 14th, at the outlaw country legend’s Luck Ranch in Spicewood, TX—often referred to as Luck, TX—for the 2024 edition of Luck Reunion. For those who can’t make it to Luck Reunion in person, nugs is offering a livestream of the event.
Built in 1985 as the backdrop for the film Red Headed Stranger, Luck, TX is an Old West town located in Willie Nelson’s backyard on the outskirts of Austin. The journey to Luck started in 1979 when Willie and Bill Wittliff set out to make a film version of Willie’s concept album of the same name. While the original screenplay ended with the town burning down, Nelson had grown attached to the set and called for a change in order to preserve the property. He later built his own home on the sprawling land, just a short drive up the road from the set. For years, Luck primarily served as Willie’s private hang space, where he would host poker games, holiday get-togethers, and summits of musicians and other friends. In 2012, with Willie’s blessing, a group of his friends, families, and associates launched Luck Reunion to honor and extend the creative origins of the space.
The Luck Reunion 2024 livestream is set to begin today, Thursday, March 14th, at 1:20 p.m. ET with Tami Nelson, followed by Lou Hazel at 2:40 p.m. ET and Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country at 4:00 p.m. ET. Durand Jones will follow at 5:20 p.m. ET ahead of performances by Old Crow Medicine Show (7:20 p.m. ET), Tyler Childers (9:20 p.m. ET), and the man of the hour, Willie Nelson (11:00 p.m. ET).
