Upcoming Concerts at the White Elephant Saloon



Artist of the Month - Billy Joe Shaver
Playing Live at the White Elephant on 6/16 @ 9pm.



Our Artist of the Month for June is Texas native and the original country music Outlaw legend, Billy Joe Shaver. 

First off, Billy Joe Shaver at the White Elephant Saloon is going to be a treat for any music fan.  If you are wanting to see a great performance by a legendary artist at a legendary venue, this is it!

Words cannot express how important Billy Joe Shaver was in establishing the Outlaw philosophy into Country Music.  Waylon Jennings 1973 album titled "Honkytonk Heroes" featured 9 out of 10 tracks written by Billy Joe Shaver.  This album, many believe, was an initial factor in what led Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson to return to Texas and start the Outlaw Movement alongside other Texas Singer/Songwriters like Billy Joe, Rusty Wier, and Ray Wylie Hubbard. 

Other artists, including Elvis Presley and Kris Kristofferson, began to record Shaver's music. This led to his own record deal.

Unfortunately for Shaver, the first few recording companies he signed with soon folded.  He was never able to gain widespread recognition as a singer, although he never stopped recording his own music.

After losing his wife, Brenda, and his mother to cancer in 1999, Shaver lost his son and longtime guitarist Eddy, who died at age 38 of a heroin overdose on December 31, 2000. Shaver nearly died himself the following year when he had a heart attack on stage during an Independence Day show at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas. After successful heart surgery, Billy Joe came back to release a new album entited "Freedom's Child" in 2002.

Billy Joe Shaver is known for his hit "Live Forever" performed by The Highwaymen. He also wrote numerous songs for artists such as Patty Loveless and Willie Nelson. For his efforts, the Americana Music Convention awarded him their Lifetime Achievement Award in Songwriting.

In 1999, Shaver was invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. In November of 2005, Billy Joe Shaver performed on the CMT Outlaws 2005. In 2006, Shaver was inducted in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. He recently served as spiritual advisor to Texas independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman. He currently lives in Waco, Texas.

Shaver sings the themes to the Adult Swim Television show, Squidbillies.

In 1996, Shaver took a part in the movie The Apostle, playing opposite Robert Duvall. He had additional speaking roles in the Duvall film Secondhand Lions (2003) and in The Wendell Baker Story (2005).

In 2004, a documentary of his life, A Portrait of Billy Joe was released. The documentary was directed by Luciana Pedraza, the wife of Robert Duvall.
