9 pm GRANT LANGSTON & THE COUNTRY-SOUL COMBO re-create WILLIE NELSON's "PHASES AND STAGES" album at Molly Malone's, 575 S Fairfax Av, L.A.
+
Grant says, "I've assembled a great band to perform one of the all-time classic country albums."

He explains, "The album narrates the story of a divorce. Side one tells the woman's story and side two the man's. Released on March 1974, the album peaked at number 34 on Billboard's Top Country Albums and the single 'Bloody Mary Morning' reached number 17 on Billboard's Country singles. It's a sad, funny, and complex piece of music."

The band is Tony Horkins on drums, John Ramey on bass, Craig Ferguson on pedal steel, Rich McCulley on mandolin and acoustic guitar, Larry Marciano on banjo and acoustic and electric guitars, and Leah Zeger on fiddle.
+
Venue is 21+, $7 cover.
