About
After more than 30 years of a lifestyle that often required lots of time on the road, country legend George Strait has saddled up for what he says will be his final tour, a two-year outing dubbed The Cowboy Rides Away Tour.
More than 20 farewell concerts take place between January and May of 2014, and the shows -- many of which will feature a big-name special guest such as Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Martina McBride, or Sheryl Crow -- are proving to be hot tickets as fans celebrate the storied career of the country mainstay. He announced his retirement from the road during a September 2012 press conference in Nashville, and played more than 20 farewell shows during early 2013.
Strait doesn't plan to ride into the sunset -- he's just done with long tours. He recently renewed his deal with MCA Records, so he'll keep releasing new music and plans to also play select concert dates in the future. But grueling trips aboard the tour bus are in his rearview mirror.
After the Urban Cowboy ethos dominated country music in the late '70s, Strait emerged in the early '80s with his take on classic country stylings, and is often credited with paving the way for other neo-traditionalist superstars like Garth Brooks, Dwight Yoakam, and Randy Travis.
Strait's catalog includes timeless hits like "Amarillo by Morning," "All My Ex's Live in Texas," "Love Without End, Amen," and "I've Come to Expect it From You."
A 2006 inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Strait's remarkable career has included a record 60 No. 1 songs on the country chart. He holds many other country sales records, including most No. 1 albums and most gold, platinum, and multi-platinum albums. Only Elvis Presley and The Beatles have more combined gold and platinum albums in their catalogs.
A native of Poteet, Texas, south of San Antonio, Strait grew up in neighboring Frio County. He first took up music in high school as a member of a rock garage band. After a stint in the Army, he earned an Agriculture degree from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos while playing in a bar band that performed around central and south Texas.
Strait signed with MCA Records in 1981, after Erv Woolsey, who ran one of the bars Strait's band played, urged Nashville talent scouts to check him out. Woolsey went on to become Strait's manager.

by DKH on 5/14/24EverBank Stadium - JacksonvilleThe concert was outstanding! Little Big Town, and Chris Stapleton were super additions to George’s unforgetable performance. The only downside to the concert was the lack of competent traffic control when it was over!!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Wow - great concert
by GC on 5/14/24EverBank Stadium - JacksonvilleThe concert was phenomenal. Little Big Town, Chris Stapleton, and George Straight, were all great! George doesn’t seem to have lost a beat and put on a fabulous show. That said, Everbank stadium was not a good venue. Very dated and not crowd friendly. Not sure how it continues as an NFL stadium.

by LMV on 5/14/24EverBank Stadium - JacksonvilleI can’t say enough about how great this concert was! Having two awesome opening acts like Little Big Town and Chris Stapleton was fantastic. George was wonderful, the show was fabulous and we all had a great time. Best concert I’ve attended in years.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great show i wish it was a smaller venue
by Melissa on 5/14/24EverBank Stadium - JacksonvilleLittle big town, chris stapleton, and george strait were absolutely fantastic but it was held in the Huge Jax Jaguars Football stadium the acoustics are terrible and i paid a lot for seats where i couldn’t even see the bands! Had to watch them on the tvs. We also like to dance and the people behind us got mad that we were standing One lady screamed at us even after we moved away from her!!! George is still going strong his voice is beautiful at 71. and he played until 11:45pm! We made the best of it but miss the old days of small intimate venues where people can enjoy dancing to the music!

Rating: 5 out of 5 George strait Chris Stapleton
by Grumpy on 5/14/24EverBank Stadium - JacksonvilleFantastic. I hate people and wanted to trip every single idiot that had to get up 64 thousand times during the show. And my knees were cramped trying to sit in the seat but the show itself was spectacular. Bucket list experience. Very few people will get me out of my house, I’d do it again.
