Clarence
Weekdays 7 am - Noon ET
Saturdays 3 pm – 7 pm ET
Born and raised in Texas, Clarence joined the wild bunch at Willie's Place after various jobs in Houston and New Orleans. In 1962, even though he was underage, he put his first nickel in a slot machine in Vegas and won fifty cents. Ever since, he's been fascinated with betting and nickels. Throughout his life, Clarence has bet on the horses and he's bet with dice...now he's bettin' on Willie's Place, the honky tonk that never closes!

Dallas Wayne
Weekdays 3 pm – 7 pm ET
Saturdays 11 am- 3 pm ET
Sundays 5 pm – 9 pm ET
A lifelong Willie Nelson fan, Dallas says, “I feel so very much at home on Willie’s Place. In fact, I do my show from my home outside of Austin. This is a dream come true, I’ve always wanted a job I could do in my underwear without a pole being involved. But, you're welcome to drop by Staley Wayne Manor and stick a dollar in my garter anytime!”

Willie Nelson is the proprietor of this authentic, old-time Texas honky-tonk, broadcasting live each day from the “Willie's Place” truck stop in Carl's Corner, Texas. The nickel jukebox is always stocked with vintage honky-tonk, western swing, and downhome country music, generally from the mid-‘60s and earlier.
