Ray Wylie Hubbard

Ray Wylie Hubbard writes the kind of songs that sound like they've been through a bar fight and come out wiser. He built his name in the Texas singer-songwriter tradition, mixing blues grit, gospel weight, and a dry, sly sense of humor that shows up in nearly every verse. Decades in, he's still one of the sharpest writers working in outlaw and red dirt country.

He brings that catalog to the Bluebird Theatre for a Colorado date, a solid chance to hear a songwriter who has influenced plenty of the names now filling up the Americana charts.
