The country legend capped off the show with a new song and a quick set of his classics, including "Whiskey River," "On The Road Again," and more.
Nelson also joined Benson and the Avett Brothers for a rendition of Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho & Lefty." See their SXSW performance in this clip from Austin360.
Benson's annual birthday bash is always quite the event. Held in the backyard of Austin advertising firm GDS&M, the party always has a great lineup and a few surprise performances. Last year, George Strait showed up to play a few songs.
