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.

Why won’t GEORGE STRAIT COME TO CANADA esp Saskatoon. Or Meadow lake pleaseeeee sometime this year my grandma loves you and you know you love her
I loved the venue however the event staff were way too strict...I drove 8 hours for that show and they would barely let you take a picture! I was also a little disappointed in George's performance, I guess was expecting more.
Had a wonderful time at the concert! George was amazing, Blake rocked the rain and Cody Johnson has some new fans. The only disappointing thing was that our seat ticket prices dropped to 1/4 the price a couple of weeks before the concert. Next time I’ll know better to wait until the last minute
A great event. The rain may have got us wet but it did not dampen the spirit. And getting in and out of the stadium was very well and professionally done. As for the acts...awesomely awesome
with record breaking attendance in NA, I must say, I had the time of my life!!!
We flew from Canada to see George Straits final concert in Arlington Texas and it was worth every penny. I really enjoyed to concert and being part of his final show. Something I will never forget.
Three hours of George Strait music sung by him and his special guests, about two songs with each of them was fantastic. I went to the show in Auburn Hills, MI bac in February and there were songs done in Arlington TX that night that weren't done in the other show and it was perfect.
Drove 11 hours from Ontario to go see George Strait in concert to fulfill a need on my bucket list, and I have to say IT WAS UNREAL. The atmosphere and vibe from the artists and the fans was breathtaking. After all these years, after countless #1 hits, HE'S STILL GOT IT!!
Excellent concert!! George Strait was phenomenal...so glad I got to see him perform live.
Great show! He was fantastic- so was Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Stadium was cool too.
