Texas singer/songwriter Butch Hancock returns to McGonigel's Mucky Duck for his first solo appearance in Houston in more than four years tonight.

While the legendary artist has been away from our town for a while, he’s hardly been resting on his laurels. Since he last visited the Mucky Duck, he’s toured nationally and internationally, launched his first New York art exhibition and built a futuristic home in the historic ghost town of Terlingua. And that’s just for starters.

The prolific songwriter, whose work has been covered by Emmylou Harris, Jerry Jeff Walker, the Sir Douglas Quintet and the Texas Tornados, has been touring for the past year and a half with his longtime friends and collaborators Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, who, with Hancock, are together known as The Flatlanders.
