GEORGE STRAIT AND ERIC CHURCH JOIN ALL-STAR LINEUP FOR GEORGE JONES TRIBUTE SHOW. (PRESS RELEASE)

George Strait, Eric Church, Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Alabama have joined the all-star lineup for the George Jones tribute concert in November.

 
“I am thrilled and honored that so many of George’s friends are coming to what would have been his last concert, but is not a fitting tribute,” says his wife Nancy Jones.  “George loved these artists and before passing had actually wrote letters to almost all of them.”
 
The newly added list of performers will join previously announced artists Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Travis Tritt, Tanya Tucker, Josh Turner, The Oak Ridge Boys, Charlie Daniels, Jamey Johnson, Montgomery Gentry, Sam Moore and others at the November 22nd show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.  All previously announced artists are currently being reconfirmed. 
 
George Jones, often referred to as the “the greatest living country singer” was on his farewell tour titled “The Grand Tour,” when he passed away on April 26th. The icon’s hits, “I Don’t Need Your Rockin’ Chair”, “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes”, “White Lightning” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today” will surely become standards for honky-tonk cover bands for years to come.
