A Trillium House Fundraiser

Dale Watson Benefit Concert on the Patio! (plus strega buffet!)

Sunday July 13, 2025 · Doors at 6:00, Show at 7pm · GA $100 (limited VIP tables also available for added fee)

We are thrilled to announce this very special Trillium House Fundraiser Concert with Dale Watson and an evening at Strega Nonna! We invite you to join us!

Who’s ready for some great food, boot stompin' honky-tonk country music, and a good time? Keeper of the true country music flame, Dale Watson’s, keeper of the true country music flame, latest album Call Me Insane, was recorded in Austin with veteran producer Lloyd Maines (Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, etc.). The Austin-based honky-tonker carries on in the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson with his “Ameripolitan” brand of American roots music.

Dale Watson is an award-winning hardest working real country musician and producer

who has been creating music and performing live for over 40 years. He has shared the

stage with such icons as Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Kris

Kristofferson, just to name a few. He has been seen on David Letterman, Jimmy

Kimmel, and Austin City Limits, but most of the time, he is touring the world, killing it for

his fans, keeping the country music roots sound alive. With over 30 albums and singles,

Dale knows his way around the recording studio, which is why he built Wat-sun Studio

in Memphis, Tennessee, complete with the 1937 board from Sun Studio.

Dale has flown the flag for classic honky-tonk for over two decades. He’s christened his brand of American roots “Ameripolitan” to differentiate it from current crop of Nashville-based pop country. The Alabama-born, Texas-raised Watson may be the hardest working entertainer today and is rapidly approaching legendary status.  He is a country music maverick, a true outlaw who stands alongside Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and George Strait as one of the finest country singers and songwriters from the Lone Star State.

We are huge Dale fans, and we are so excited to bring this to our community and for such an amazing cause! Bring your dancing shoes, as this will be a two-steppin' good time!!

Strega Nonna will open up our doors at 6:00pm with a dinner buffet setup for guests to enjoy before finding a spot on the patio for the concert. Show starts at 7pm and will be held outdoors on our patio. Drinks will be available for purchase.

Please join us for this very special concert! Dale is a wonderful performer and we are so excited to bring this to Negaunee! And for a good cause! 50% of all Ticket Sales will go to the Trillium House!
