Ray Wylie Hubbardat Neon Moon

Ray Wylie Hubbard is a living link to the outlaw country era that grew out of Texas in the 1970s. He wrote"Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother",a song that became one of the touchstones of that movement,and he has spent decades touring with a sound that mixes blues,country,grime,and sharp storytelling. When he played Neon Moon Restaurant and Social Club near Lake Fork on Friday, April ️24, ️2026,it was the kind of intimate night that venue does best: a Texas legend,an hour and a half of songs,and a room full of people who knew exactly what they were hearing,

Show details

The songwriter

Hubbard has been part of the Texas music scene for more than five decades,first as a writer whose songs other artists cut,and then as a performer in his own right. His song"Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother"became a staple of the outlaw country repertoire,and his later albums have been celebrated for their weathered,bone-dry humor,and for stories that sound like they were lived before they were written. A Ray Wylie Hubbard show is part music,part stand-up,part sermon,all from a chair with a guitar on his lap,

The venue

Neon Moon Restaurant and Social Club sits off State Highway 154 near Lake Fork,about 25 minutes southwest of the property. It is a full restaurant and bar that doubles as one of the best small live-music rooms in the region,bringing in Texas country,and red dirt touring acts year-round,and drawing crowds from Mineola,Yantis,and the wider Lake Fork area. Shows are easy,night-out friendly,and the room stays small enough that even a writer like Hubbard fills it with stories,

The drive from the property

Neon Moon is about 25 minutes southwest of the property via US-271 toward the Lake Fork area. Even though this April ️24, ️2026 show has passed,and it's a convenient drive worth making again:the venue's calendar fills with live music most weekends,and the kind of room that books Ray Wylie Hubbard on a Friday night is worth knowing about,
