George Strait
George Strait will kick off his 2012 winter tour with Martina McBride tonight in Lafayette, Louisiana. At the moment he has 11 dates on the books, running through the end of February. Martina is excited to be on the tour because she says, “It’s been probably six or seven years since we’ve toured with him and that experience in itself was amazing, but we were doing stadiums. But I think this tour will be even more intimate.” Plus she’s hoping to get to spend some time with George. She says, “I don’t know if he still does this but when we toured together before, there was a tent every night. You could go and hang out with him if you wanted to. He kind of likes to hang out, which I was surprised, and I took advantage of that. You know I’m thinking if I get to hang out with George Strait, I’m gonna do that.”
