ERIC CHURCH, REBA McENTIRE AND ALABAMA
TO PERFORM AT GEORGE JONES TRIBUTE CONCERT
AT NASHVILLE’S BRIDGESTONE ARENA
concert already hosting top names in all genres of music, Nancy Jones
is excited to announce the addition of George Strait, Blake Shelton,
Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Reba McEntire, and Alabama to the all-star
lineup.
“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 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. 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. 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.
