    Kris Kristofferson achieved remarkable success as a country songwriter at the start of the 1970s. His songs "Me and Bobby McGee," "Help Me Make It Through the Night," "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down," and "For the Good Times," all chart-topping hits, helped redefine country songwriting, making it more personal and serious, much in the way that Bob Dylan's songs had transformed pop music songwriting in the mid-'60s.

    Kristofferson has been inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, is a three time Grammy winner, Best Actor Golden Globe ("A Star is Born"), received several awards with the Highwaymen (with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, and the 2001 Diversity Award, and this year’s American Veteran Association’s "Veteran of the Year." He’s released eighteen solo albums, plus three with Rita Coolidge and three with the Highwaymen and has appeared in some fifty films, many of them solid Westerns, including three with Sam Peckinpah, "The Last Days of Frank and Jesse James," with Johnny Cash, and John Sayles’ "Lone Star."

    His performance will showcase storytelling songs and the bare bones power of country and folk.
