(Radio Iowa) – He’s on the road again, even in his 90s, and Willie Nelson’s bringing his tour to Iowa soon. Nelson is scheduled to play Saturday, May 25th at the Lauridsen Amphitheater at Water Works Park in Des Moines — and that’s his only planned Iowa stop. It’s said he wrote his first song at age seven and joined his first band at ten.

Nelson, who’s been touring with his “family” band since the early 1970s, will turn 91 on April 29th, and he’s still not ready to be rolled up.
