The Dixie Center for the Arts in Ruston, Louisiana will again host the annual Joe Woods Wildwood Express Show to benefit the Historic Dixie Theater in Downtown Ruston.

This 16th annual Showcase will hit the stage at 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 4.

This celebration of the life and legacy of Joe Woods will bring back band members who played in his original band and singers who often have a tie to Joe, and always a connection to the music he performed at the Dixie Theater every Saturday night back in the day when the Wildwood Express was a weekly cultural happening in Ruston.

The tribute show began as a fundraiser for the Dixie but it’s much more than that. The venue, music, and the people on the stage and in the audience represent all that is good about times past in Ruston.

Tickets are available at www.dixiecenter.org.
