Aug. 6, 2018 6 AM PT

8.8: Shooter Jennings

The son of outlaw country legend Waylon Jennings and singer Jessi Colter is set to release his latest album, Shooter, this month. The record marks a return to country music for the singer and songwriter after teaming with Marilyn Manson and Brandi Carlile on his 2016 tribute album to electronic/disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder, Countach (for Giorgio).

8.10: Willie Nelson + Alison Krauss

Nelson, a 12-time Grammy Award winner, nine-time CMA Award winner and Kennedy Center Honoree, joins forces with Krauss, a 27-time Grammy Award winner (!), nine-time CMA Award winner and holder of an honorary doctorate from Berklee College of Music. But hardware aside, a show with these two on the same stage together will undoubtedly be a night to remember.
