If your playlist lives somewhere between classic country storytelling and pop standards that refuse to age, there’s a newly announced date to circle in ink.
Songwriter and performer Jimmy Webb is set for “An Evening with Jimmy Webb” on Friday, April 24, 2026, at the CMA Theater inside the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
The Hall of Fame’s event listing sums up why Webb’s catalog hits so many musical neighborhoods at once, calling him a “multiple Grammy-winning cross-genre songwriter” whose songs remain “touchstones for a generation.” It also spotlights just how deep the bench is, naming classics including “Wichita Lineman,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Galveston,” “MacArthur Park,” “Up, Up and Away,” “Highwayman,” “Didn’t We,” “All I Know,” and “Worst That Could Happen.”

In other words: one writer, a whole era’s worth of emotional weather.
The description also notes that Webb’s songs have traveled across genres through interpretations by artists including Glen Campbell, Ray Charles, Art Garfunkel, Linda Ronstadt, Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand, and praises Webb as “a keen observer with an extraordinary sense of place” who captured “the pulse, landscapes and moods of America like no other songwriter.”
Webb’s Nashville date is part of a broader run of 2026 shows listed on his official site. That schedule includes Feb. 7, 2026 at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music, plus dates in Toronto, Wilmington, Riverhead, Red Bank, Minneapolis, St. Louis, and The Woodlands leading up to the April 24 Nashville appearance.
One notable add-on: a Valentine’s benefit concert billed as “Valentine’s Concert: A Night at the Museum” on Feb. 14, 2026, at the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn, New York, described as a limited-capacity evening with a post-show champagne and dessert reception.

Fans are already reacting with the kind of simple enthusiasm that reads like someone hitting “send” mid-smile. “Oh, this sounds fabulous,” wrote one commenter. “The absolute best there is!” added another. A third asked the practical question every touring announcement eventually summons: “Wow, this would be a fabulous evening. Got anything planned in Michigan this year?”
If you’re considering the Nashville show, the venue and framing make the hook extra tidy: a master craftsman at the piano, telling the stories behind songs you’ve heard a thousand times, and still somehow hearing them like it’s the first.
