Joe Nick Patoski is heading to town to sign copies of Willie Nelson: An Epic Life, his new biography of the Red-headed Stranger. This Thursday Patoski will appear at Brazos Books (2421 Bissonnet) from 5-7 p.m., whereupon he will head down the street to Under the Volcano (2349 Bissonnet) for what promises to be a slightly more raucous autographing session.

Saturday appearances after the jump...

On Saturday, starting at 10:30 AM, Patoski will be a guest on Rick Heysquierdo’s KPFT-FM 90.1 show Lonestar Jukebox, after which he will appear for another signing Saturday afternoon at Sig’s Lagoon. (2 p.m.; 3700 Main.)

If you are unable to attend any of these events, Patoski says you can order signed copies through Brazos Books. -- John Nova Lomax
