Wet Willie featuring Jimmy Hall headline Tavern Fest 2021, a street party in downtown Montgomery on North Hull Street in Old Alabama Town. Lucas Tavern, the oldest building in Montgomery, is the impetus for this family friendly event. Wet Willie first catapulted to fame after forming in Mobile, AL and becoming the second band to sign to the iconic Capricorn Records label in Macon, GA after the Allman Brothers Band. With acts such as the Charlie Daniels Band, the Marshall Tucker Band, Elvin Bishop and others, they are historically associated with the birth of the Southern Rock era. The group is well known for its top ten hit anthem “Keep on Smilin’” and other Top 40 charters such as “Weekend,” and “Street Corner Serenade,” across decades of recorded work. Wet Willie is inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Frontman Jimmy Hall is the recipient of a 2021 GRAMMY Award. Governor Kay Ivey has declared Sept. 25th’s Tavern Fest officially as “Wet Willie Day” for the state of Alabama
