Willie Nelson in 2013 (cover photo by Gary Miller) Who s a bestselling author, weed entrepreneur, martial arts black belt, and now a SXSW Online 2021 keynote speaker?

The Red Headed Stranger is usually pretty busy during South By, but with his annual anti-festival the Luck Reunion on hold for another year, Shotgun Willie is getting on the digital road again as one of the headliners for SXSW s 2021 digital conference – a rare appearance, and his first since his pop-up set Spotify House in 2016. Of course the festival seems giddy for his words. “No individual has had the cultural impact on, or been more synonymous with the creative vibrancy of Austin than Willie Nelson, and we are incredibly honored to have him as a SXSW Online 2021 Keynote,” said Hugh Forrest, Chief Programming Officer.
