George Strait Plays Vegas

Artistry and Songwriting Spotlighted at First of Two September Strait to Vegas Shows
King of Country Music Took Fans on a Journey with Hit After Hit in Two-Plus Hour Set; Dean Dillon Joined Strait for Rare Performance Collaborations on Night One
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016) – Early Friday afternoon, before the doors opened at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena for only its second pair of Strait to Vegas shows of 2016, George Strait stood in the nearly-empty arena thumbing his Merle Haggard Signature Telecaster, contemplating his setlist for the night. As his Ace in the Hole Band ran through selections from the man the Dallas Morning News dubbed as “the most influential genre artist of the last 30 years,” BMI Icon Award winner and longtime collaborator and friend of Strait's, Dean Dillon, sat in for the rehearsal, almost as if an extension of the tight-knit, 11-piece backing band for the King of Country. For those few witnesses in the soon-to-be-at-capacity, less-than-a-year-old arena, it was a sign of what was to come – a night where Strait's smooth vocals spotlighted the poignant writing and influencers that have contributed to his storied career  – one that has amassed 60 No. 1 singles and counting.
