**Willie Watson, Tess Fisher**  
Thursday, April 9th  
**The Camel**  
  
You may know him from his years in Old Crow Medicine Show, but this time [**Willie Watson**](https://www.instagram.com/williewatsongs/) is bearing his own name on the marquee. His solo work is stripped back and bare, with the focus resting on detailed, vivid storytelling. The characters he sings about are so lifelike and real, it feels as if you already know them.

This is country rooted in heart and feeling. It feels like he’s playing right in front of you, maybe for a dozen friends in a backyard, maybe on a street corner for passersby. It’s a refreshing sound, building on the traditions of Guthrie and Williams Sr., but still feeling fresh and honest.

We have [**Tess Fisher**](https://www.instagram.com/country_smut/) opening the night. Fisher has a fantastic, unique vocal sound that feels like it’s blowing in on the wind to your front door. Their songs seem to carry the weight of a hundred years in each strum and pluck. They’re deeper than just songs, more than just three minutes of sound. They’re living storybooks, breathing history. Fisher can crush a slow, moody tune just as well as an upbeat, dancey kicker.
