JUST ADDED: In order to keep VCLive! and the Piper’s Opera House front of mind, the first 25 ticket holders to sign up receive a FREE PRIVATE GHOST TOUR at Piper’s Opera House with Walt Wilkins after the show.
“When the upstarts back in Texas where grumbling about Nashville from afar, Wilkins was in the very belly of the beast, subverting the system by writing songs from the heart instead of by the book — and subsequently landing cuts of several of those songs on mainstream records.”
“If Ray Wylie Hubbard is, as some young writers have called him, sort of an Obi Wan sage of Texas songcraft, then Wilkins kind of is, too; think of him as the younger but still wizened and battle-scarred Ewan McGregor to Hubbard’s Sir Alec Guinness.”

With his band, The Ramble, “Walt has a smoky vocal in the realm of Marc Cohn (“Silver Thunderbird,” “Walking In Memphis,”) & Joe Henry (“Trampoline”). He’s a singer-songwriter with stories & an approach… sung in a narrative as if he were talking to you.”
