NOVEMBER, 2025 UPDATE

Hi folks,

Just a quick update. I've had some great concerts in October including a couple of harvest festivals and I'm guessing I've probably played my final outdoor gigs of 2025.

I'll be playing at Vinyl Nap in East Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday, November 9th from 4 PM to 6 PM. You can learn more at www.vinaltapnashville.com. This concert is free and I'll be talking about the Willie book, singing his songs and signing copies of the book. I'll have Angelica joining me on fiddle. If you're down in that area or know somebody that is/will be, please let them know. You'd be hard-pressed to find a cooler spot to see music than Vinyl Tap. I haven't played in Nashville in two years. I've had some of the greatest and some of the worst concerts of my musical life in that city. It's always fun to be there though and I'm always grateful that someone down there is willing to take a chance on booking me.

November is a slow month for me. I'll be at First Church in Pembroke, MA on Sunday, November 16th at 3:30 PM for a free concert doing the classic country music Revue. It's a free concert, it has great acoustics and I'll also have Angelica on fiddle w/ me at that one. Also I'll be doing some gigs in Newport at the Newport Playhouse's kitchen they just opened. You can find more info on that at https://www.newportplayhouse.com/

I'll be turning into Christmas song singing guy for all of December and then will be doing the songs of Cash and Willie as part of First Night Chatham. More info on that at https://www.firstnightchatham.com/

This month's video is a cover of the John Lennon song “Jealous Guy”, which you can check out at https://youtu.be/yCP94O2PppY?si=fBbktWCBuW8crbW0

If you're interested in a copy of the Willie book, it's on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles' websites (find them at this link). My four-sentence pitch of why you should absolutely purchase several copies of the book as Christmas gifts. Since Betty White passed away, the only thing we can agree on on this planet is that we love all Dolly Parton and we all love Willie Nelson. The book is priced to move at $20-$25 and it's the perfect Yankee Swap gift. It's not a bio, it's short little nuggets I've picked up doing this thing I do about both Willie and Massachusetts. You have a great opportunity to be the cool person at your holiday party this December. The choice is yours : )

That's all I got for you! Thanks for all your support. If you any questions, want to book me or whatever, please email me at mattyorkpembroke@gmail.com.
