Maverick Award Tribute
Maverick Award Tribute
Celestial Cinema Program
(30 mins)
This Tribute is part of the Celestial Cinema Friday program.  The schedule is as follows:
8:00pm Splinterheads
9:30pm Maverik Award honoring Willie Nelson (followed by One Peace at a Time)
11:00pm Cash Crop

Willie Nelson is one of contemporary music’s rare
genuine icons. The 76-year-old singer, songwriter,
guitarist, and actor remains a restlessly creative soul.
Yet Willie is also so much more. He is an advocate for
America’s family farms and a bedrock supporter of
FarmAid, a peace activist who founded the Willie Nelson
Peace Research Institute, a respected renewable energy
and bio-fuels entrepreneur, a tireless supporter of the
decriminalization of marijuana, and a guru to many who
have been inspired to follow his life and lead one full of
wonder and meaning as well. All of this plus a much
beloved husband, father and cowboy to boot.
After his many years in the music industry, he continues
to tour on the traveling bus that is his home-away-fromhome.
His voice is instantly recognizable— a plaintive,
sweet sound that magically pierces the heart. His genius is
more. He creates music that is a soul-searching
exploration of love and spirituality, often very sad, drawn
from the deep well of this country’s many voices—country,
gospel, pop, jazz, and blues—but uniquely original.
As country music legend Emmylou Harris noted,“If
America only had one voice, it would be Willie’s.”
The Maui Film Festival couldn’t agree more.
This event is included on the Celestial Cinema Friday ticket.
