Wayne Hancock at Launchpad

Wayne Hancock is the kind of Texas honky-tonk lifer who makes you wonder why anyone ever bothered complicating country music in the first place, and Launchpad’s compact room puts you close enough to feel it. The event title references Juno Brewery, so confirm the venue before you go, because that detail in the listing suggests something may still be in flux. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, and this show will sell to people who know exactly who Hancock is before casual fans catch on.
