There are few names in country music as big as Willie Nelson, so it’s no surprise that several tribute acts have emerged to pay homage to his songs. One of the area’s best, The Red Headed Strangers, perform at Beaumont’s on Jan. 25. Nelson has been churning out the hits for more than five decades, including such evergreens as “Always On My Mind,” “Good Hearted Woman” and “On The Road Again” — tunes so popular they are almost clichés, which The Red Headed Strangers perform with passion. Beaumont’s is an intimate venue, making this concert perfect for either dancing or singing along to the music of one of the finest songwriters of the 20th century.
The Red Headed Strangers: Saturday, Jan. 25, at Beaumont’s, 5662 La Jolla Blvd. 9 p.m. 21 and up. www.beaumontseatery.com
