To celebrate the third anniversary of the First Tuesday SMTX Film series, First Tuesday will show the documentary, “They Called Us Outlaws: The Cosmic Cowboys, Honky Tonk Heroes and Rise of Redneck Rock,” on Tuesday, May 5, at the Price Center in San Marcos.
The music heard in Austin and Nashville in the late 60s and early 70s became nothing less than a tectonic shift in country music. From Tennessee to Texas, musicians were breaking rules and flouting tradition in what the industry would come to label, “Outlaw Country.”
This 100-minute documentary, directed by Eric Geadelmann, features Waylon, Willie and 120 past, present and future recording artists, songwriters and producers.
Celebrating its world premiere at the 2026 South by Southwest, this new documentary is presented in partnership with the Texas State Center for Texas Music.
Following the film, there will be a question and answer period with the director Eric Geadelmann and Dr. Jason Mellard, of the Texas State Center for Texas Music History. Tickets are $9. Doors open at 6:15 p.m, complementary pizza and drinks served from 6:30 p.m., and the film starts at 7. The Price Center is located at 222 W. San Antonio St. in San Marcos.
