In support of his latest album Feeling Mortal, music icon Kris Kristofferson makes his only Tampa Bay appearance at the Palladium. Kristofferson is a Country Music Hall of Famer who ranks among the most versatile of American talents. He’s been a Golden Gloves boxer, a Rhodes Scholar, a college football player, an acclaimed actor, a military officer, a helicopter pilot, a GRAMMY® winner, and now he finds himself releasing the third Don Was-produced album in a twilight years trilogy. Feeling Mortal follows 2009’s Closer To The Bone and 2006’s This Old Road in examining hard-won grace.
In his Nashville beginning, Kristofferson threw away a promising military career in favor of life as what he sometimes calls “a songwriting bum.” He had excelled at most everything he’d ever tried, save for singing and songwriting, but it was the singing and the writing that called to him. He wound up penning classics including Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make It Through the Night, Sunday Morning Coming Down and For The Good Times, as well as a slew of other empathetic, incisive gems.
