Waymore’s Outlaws $15- 7.6.24
Tommy Townsend has spent years on the road, performing as a solo artist and as part of Waymore’s Outlaws, a group that features longtime members of Jennings’ famed band The Waylors. Tommy has had previous recordings produced by Shooter Jennings and Raul Malo of The Mavericks, and is currently signed to BFD Audium Nashville, with his latest release being Southern Man, produced by Waylon Jennings and Jerry “Jigger” Bridges.
In the mid-70's Waylon Jennings and The Waylors were a pivotal force that knocked Nashville and country music back on their heels with their own way of doing things, standing up for their rights to create their own music, a movement they called Outlaw music.
A few years after the passing of Waylon in 2002, his Waylors' band members, Richie Albright, Jerry Bridges, and Fred Newell, formed Waymore's Outlaws to honor Waylon and to keep his music alive. A year later they invited Tommy to join their Outlaw band on lead guitar and vocals.
In the years that followed they recorded three albums, toured the nation, Canada, and Europe with their outlaw spirit playing Waylon's songs and one of theirs now and then. In January 2014 they began a four year touring engagement with Waylon and Jessi’ Colter's son, Shooter Jennings, opening his shows and backing him on stage.
In January of 2018, Barny and Carter Robertson, who became Waylors in 1975, joined Waymore’s Outlaws. In 2021, with the passing of their dear friend and bandmate Richie Albright, Jerry’s son Jeff Bridges joined the band on drums.
Collectively, Albright, Bridges, both Robertson’s and Newell, played on the recordings of Waylon's mega hits such as I Ain't Living Long Like This, Theme Song from the Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol' Boys), Luckenbach Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love) and Rainy Day Woman, as well as countless other gold and platinum hits.
Tommy Townsend and Waymore's Outlaws are continuing today what Waylon began in the ‘70s: doing things their own way.
