George Strait's 1996 Concert History

Widely considered the "King of Country," George Strait began his music career in the late 60s while still in high school. In 1976, while in college, Strait joined Stoney Ridge, which he renamed Ace in the Hole Band. After struggling to land a record deal, Strait released his first single "Unwound" in 1981 with Ace in the Hole Band now acting as his backup band. The song peaked at number 6 on the Country Singles Chart and was the beginning of a decades-long career that has landed Strait the most number-one hits on the Hot Country Songs. Though Strait technically retired from touring after the While The Cowboy Rides Away Tour (2013-2014), he continues performing regularly, and, on October 24, 2022, he announced a formal six-stadium tour with Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town for 2023.
