Even the bright lights of the big city can’t shake the core of a Texas boy like Aaron Watson when he performs.

Taking his show on the road to New York City over the weekend, Watson didn’t let go of his Southern roots as he commemorated Texas Independence Day at the famous Gramercy Theater. Inviting songwriters Ryan Beaver and Jack Ingram to open the show, the three guys made the Big Apple believe in the power of country music.

While the “Run Wild Horses” singer shined during his impressive headlining set and Beaver performed a few of the hits he created himself, it was Ingram’s intimate cover of Miranda Lambert’s “Tin Man” that left the crowd stunned. The two friends collaborated in the writers’ room to make the emotional track, in which Ingram holds dear to his heart despite handing the song over to Lambert for her last project.

Watson took advantage of his time in the city even more so by heading over to the new Opry City Stage over in the Times Square part of town to perform a couple songs for Facebook. Breaking out his acoustic side, the Texas country singer played “Run Wild Horses” and “Outta Style” over the social media platform for fans all around the world to watch.

Check out some pictures of Watson’s wild adventures in the streets of NYC and be sure to keep up with his schedule on his official website:
