Ray Wylie Hubbard

Last year, we upgraded Ray Wylie Hubbard’s annual birthday show from the State to the Paramount. This year will be an even larger affair, as the Austin icon celebrates his 70th with friends and special guests. Hubbard started his journey as a folk singer in his native Oklahoma before falling in with the wild and wooly cosmic/outlaw Texas country scene of the 1970s. His most recent album, last year’s The Ruffian’s Misfortune, found the Austin icon writing the strongest material of his career, and his recently-published autobiography, ‘A Life…Well, Lived’ was an instant classic.
