Aubrey Entertainment presents Runnin’ With Ol’ Waylon, a night of live music honoring outlaw country singer-songwriter Waylon Jennings led by Waymore’s Outlaws. The band is made up of former members of Jennings’ recording and touring band, The Waylors, including Jerry “Jigger” Bridges on bass, Barny Robertson on keys, Carter Robertson on vocals, Jeff Hale on drums and steel guitarist Fred Newell. The Waylors performed on hits like “I Ain’t Living Long Like This,” the “Dukes of Hazzard” theme “Good Ol’ Boys,” “Luckenbach Texas” and “Rainy Day Woman.” Between songs the musicians share real-life stories from the road. Guitarist and singer Tommy Townsend adds his own charismatic energy to Waymore’s Outlaws and rounds out the lineup. Although Townsend was not a part of the original Jennings band, the late country musician mentored Townsend and helped produce his album Southern Man.
