More Luck Reunion. This is a great story. The title of this article give you a hint: "The Nashville Man Who Used To Be A Country Star — In West Africa"
You need to read it but to summarize: Peter was a folk/country star in the Ivory Coast in the 80s who decided to emigrate from his home country to Nashville. He never got a break there so he took a job as a nurse in a nursing home to pay the bills to support his family. Years later fate and luck came his way and his music was rediscovered (shades of "Searching for Sugarman") and he is now playing his music again to American audiences.
This reminds me of The Byrds/CSN&Y.
He's playing the beer hall stage and based on the order he may be first so we'll have to get there early to see him.
