On Tuesday 2 January 2024, Gene Watson issued a New Year Message for 2024.
‘Happy New Year to you!
For me, the New Year, always brings me a sense of hope that this year will be the best ever.
I do believe I’ve already got one of the best bands in the business.
My Farewell Party Band is incredible, and they are like a well-oiled machine. They know when to kick it into high gear, and when to just let it ride.
On top of their great musicianship and vocal ability, they are super nice guys – and, believe me, when you’re traveling on a bus so many days in the year, it’s important that everyone gets along well and we all enjoy the touring life.
Chad Phillips (lead guitar) and Dewayne Rice (piano) will go with me in mid-January 2024 to tape an episode of the new Malpass Brothers television show, which will air on RFD-TV.
I’ll have to get back to you on an air-date, but they still think it will be later this Spring.
Then we officially kick off our touring on Saturday 20 January 2024 in Lubbock, Texas at The Cactus Theater. I hope you’ll come out and join us there.
As I’ve mentioned, I recorded a song with The Bellamy Brothers, and that single release date should be announced soon.
We shot a little video to go with it that I think you’ll like.
David and Howard Bellamy are great to work with, and we’ve got a show with them in Hinton, Oklahoma at Sugar Creek Casino on Saturday 18 May 2024, so plan to come see us there.
We have lots of great shows lined up, and more coming soon, so just check my tour schedule online at genewatsonmusic.com and gene-watson.com
I hope 2024 is your best year ever, full of great things and lots of happy moments with friends and family.
Take care, Gene’
