The grandson of legendary icons Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter has been nothing short of a true outlaw from a long line of gangsters, outlaws and rockstars, making his family lineage proud. Struggle's message of strength, determination and courage in the face of adversity continue to connect and resonate with people around the world.
I had the pleasure of visiting with Struggle about his upcoming start of the El Camino Tour. He wanted Branson to be the kick-off, due to so many fond memories that he has for Branson. He told me, "I remember coming to Branson as a youngster to see my grandpa Waylon Jennings perform. Shooter and I would go to all the water parks and we had so much fun. We all stayed out at the Big Cedar Lodge." He said, "You know that's where Jessi Coulter and Waylon renewed their wedding vows." I said, yes, I had actually had heard that!
I had just got off a tour with Brantley Gilbert and a festival in Okeechobee, FL, and I'm going to be home long enough to have some studio time recording some songs and finishing up some other projects and spending some time with my daughter before hitting the road for this tour.
I said to him how happy and ironic it was that I was able to do this interview with him because my dad just loved his grandpa Waylon's music and, on this trip, we encountered his uncle James Jennings in Texas. He said to me, "There is no coincidence, only what is meant to happen!"
Struggle said to me, "I want people to attend, have a great long lasting time and memories. This show will be like attending church on a Friday night. It will be a roller coaster of emotions. It will be a concert for those that have been through a lot and to continue pushing through to overcome all the obstacles. It will be a beautiful night of redemption, reflecting and healing.”
“I have such beautiful, fond memories of Branson, that I'm excited and looking forward to coming and performing in Branson. I'm very glad that Branson will be my official kick-off start to the El Camino Tour. I'm so excited to see Branson and all its changes since I've been there.”
“Branson has a special piece of my heart, and I'm just ready to be there on stage myself getting to perform for the first time with my music, new and old, some songs off my new full-length country album and new songs that haven't yet been performed or heard by anyone. Performing country music has been a lifelong dream of mine and starting this tour with the new album available, there is no better way than to do it in a memorable, meaningful place like Branson, MO."
So, I, this author of this article, say to you the readers: Do yourself a favor and get your tickets immediately. This will be a memorable night for sure! I know it's going to be outstanding and fun! Call your friends and bring them to this concert. They have different levels of tickets. The VIP gets you some great benefits, so don't miss it!
