Join Willie Nelson and the Marijuana Policy Project at a concert to raise money for marijuana policy reform!
What: Austin Freedom Fest, featuring Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel
Where: The Backyard in Austin, Texas
When: August 10
You can buy regular tickets here (http://www.austinfreedomfest.com/) â but you might consider buying a VIP ticket. VIP tickets include dinner, open bar, seating in the exclusive tree deck, and the opportunity to network with special celebrity guests. But only 20 VIP tickets are available, so act fast if you want one.
The concert will star legendary country singer Willie Nelson and the Grammy award-winning band Asleep at the Wheel â featuring MPP VIP advisory board member Ray Benson. Other special guests include Paula Nelson, Carolyn Wonderland, Jackie âThe Joke Manâ Martling, and Mark Stepnoski. Proceeds from the benefit will go to MPP, NORML, and WAMM.
Earlier this week, the Austin-American Statesman reported that Nelson has cancelled many of his tour dates through August â except for MPP's and the annual Farm Aid concert. So if you want to see Willie Nelson in concert this summer, MPPâs event might be your only chance.
