WITH 22 MORE CONCERTS REMAINING IN 2012
Despite recent Facebook rumors, the Legend is alive and well
and looks forward to another strong year of touring
Nashville, TN (September 3, 2012) – George Jones
is alive and well, and happy to be touring. After performing two
successful shows this weekend, Jones is scheduled to appear on average
six to eight more shows each month continuing into 2013.
The legend states, “I love the road. I love the fans. I am just a singer
and love to sing my songs. Until I’m done I still don’t need no
rockin’ chair. Just gimme’ that stage and I’ll have at it”.
After Jones’ Saturday night concert in Massachusetts, MassLive.com reviewer
George Lenker had this to say about Jones’ fans: “They were there to
share the space, be in the same room, and breathe the same air as a
country music icon who they cherish.” “Jones entered to a standing
ovation and left to one…” Lenker continued, “He [is] also clearly
still sharp mentally for his age and engaged in great stage banter with
both his band and the audience.”
