Pictured (L-R): George Strait and Jason Aldean
Last week, Country icon and CMA Entertainer of the Year George Strait kicked off the final leg of his The Cowboy Rides Away Tour at CenturyLink Center in Bossier City, La. Strait played to a massive audience of 13,957 attendees and broke his own previous record for highest grossing show of all time at that venue.
Strait performed several hits, including “Fool Hearted Memory” alongside special guest Jason Aldean, “Amarillo By Morning,” “Check Yes Or No” and “I Got A Car,” which is currently at No. 16 on MusicRow’s CountryBreakout Chart. Continuing his partnership with the Military Warriors Support Foundation, Strait teamed up with Lieutenant General Leroy Cisco, U.S. Army (Retired) to present the keys to a home to U.S. Army Specialist Douglas Michael Edds and wife Tanya Edds.
The Cowboy Rides Away Tour will include shows throughout the country and guest performances by several big names. On March 21, Strait will play Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena with special guest Sheryl Crow. On June 7, 2014, Strait will play his final tour date in Arlington, Texas with special guests Aldean, Alan Jackson, Crow, Vince Gill and more.
