Townes Van Zandt

Maile Carballo / KUTX

Widely and wildly admired Texas songwriter and singer Townes Van Zandt would be turning 80 on Thursday. He will be saluted this evening at a sold-out show at The Long Center Austin Tx starring Butch Hancock and friends.

Let’s do a TP salute on the actual anniversary of his birth (born in Fort Worth on March 7, 1944) and hear some TVZ CLASSICS AND MUST-HEAR COVERS.
