GEORGE STRAIT WILL ANNOUNCE CITIES AND DATES FOR 2014 LEG OF HIS ‘COWBOY RIDES AWAY TOUR’ ON MONDAY. (AUDIO)

George Strait is expected to announce cities and dates for the 2014 leg of the Cowboy Rides Away Tour during a press conference on Monday (September 9th) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Strait began the Cowboy Rides Away Tour earlier this year.

Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006, Strait is scheduled to receive several additional honors in November, including Billboard‘s Legend of Live Award in New York City. He is the first country artist named to receive the magazine’s most coveted touring award. He’ll also be presented ASCAP’s Founders Award which honors songwriters and composers who have made pioneering contributions to music by inspiring and influencing their fellow music creators.

Monday’s press conference will be streamed live at Noon ET on Strait’s official website, georgestrait.com.

AUDIO: George Strait has to pick and choose which songs he’ll perform live, and it’s not the easiest job in the world for him.

George Strait (set list) OC: …changing anyway. :33
“When you’re putting the song list together for a live show, it gets a little tough, because you don’t want to leave things out that you know people want to hear, but unfortunately, you don’t have time to do them all and it’s just one of those things. And so you just try to pick the best stuff that you can. And of course, I’ll cut one or two or three or so from a show for a year or two, and then it seems we always come back to them eventually and throw them back in the mix. It’s just a constant thing you’ve got to keep changing anyway.”
