Willie Nile will play Gateway City Arts in Holyoke on Friday, Nov. 19.
Nile, who was called “one of the most brilliant singer-songwriters of the past 30 years” by The New Yorker, recently released “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” his 14th studio album.
The album was inspired by the desolation that the COVID-19 lockdown caused and includes the lead single, “Blood on Your Hands,” a duet with Steve Earle.
The show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are $27.50-$30.
