Detroit music venue PJ's Lager House is launching an intimate concert series — and by intimate, we mean really intimate.
The venue is only selling 30 tickets for the show, in order to create a "very small club atmosphere" with seating and table service provided.
That sounds perfectly suited to the series' first installment, which kicks off on Wednesday, June 22: Arkansas-born outlaw country music singer-songwriter Billy Don Burns. While not a household name, he's probably your favorite country singer's favorite country singer, with his songs recorded by the likes of Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Paycheck, among others. Reportedly, Shooter Jennings has a Billy Don Burns tattoo, and even the great Johnny Cash once wrote Burns a handwritten letter when his 1997 record Desperate Men knocked Cash's Unchained off the No. 1 spot on the Gavin Americana chart.
PJ's says the concert series is intended to "highlight the dedicated musicians who have lived and worked the musician life for years. They may be known in certain circles and completely unknown in others. But their continued work on the road, in the studio and writing great songs has earned them the name, Legend."
Also on the bill are Vinnie Dombrowski of Detroit-based alt-rock band Sponge and country band the Orbitsuns, as well as the Florida-based Storey Boys. Doors open at 7 p.m. and advance tickets are available at eventbrite.com
