The heart and soul of country music will resonate in the Lone Star State as Outback Presents and AEG Presents proudly unveil ‘A Texas Heroes & Friends Tribute to Randy Travis – 1 Night, 1 Place, 1 Time.’ This unforgettable event is slated to grace the Texas Trust CU Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas, on Wednesday, November 15, 2023, at 7 p.m.
For Randy Travis, Texas has been more than a geographical location – it’s a cherished part of his musical journey. From his early days learning about the Cowboy lifestyle from his father in rural North Carolina to his residence in New Mexico during the ’90s, Texas has always held a special place in his heart. In the 2010s, Randy and his wife, Mary, found a home on a ranch in the larger Dallas-Fort Worth area, solidifying their connection to the Lone Star State’s culture and music. Texas played a pivotal role in Randy Travis’ recovery journey following his 2013 stroke, offering a nurturing haven within the thriving Texas music scene.
The night promises a dazzling array of Randy’s twenty-three global #1 hits, delivered live by a lineup of musical ‘Heroes and Friends’ hailing from or significantly associated with the great state of Texas and its vibrant music scene. The Texas show will feature more homegrown talent, making it a true celebration of Texan musical heritage. A portion of the event’s proceeds will be dedicated to the Randy Travis Foundation, a beacon of stroke and aphasia awareness, and a supporter of music education in schools.
“Randy Travis’ impact on Country music is timeless, and artists inspired by him consistently seek ways to pay homage to his legacy. His influence continues to shine bright, making him a potent advocate for Country music and our community. We’re confident that Texans will gather en masse to celebrate his remarkable career!” stated Tony Conway, Randy Travis’ manager.
“Outback Presents is thrilled to collaborate once again with Conway Entertainment Group to honor one of the most iconic artists of our era, Randy Travis. With our history of producing heartfelt and successful tribute concerts, and in partnership with AEG Presents, we’re excited to give Texas the opportunity to celebrate one of their cherished musical figures,” commented Mike Smardak, President of Outback Presents.
Tickets for this monumental event will go on sale Friday, August 18, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, available at the Texas Trust CU Theatre box office, AXS.com, and randytravis.com. Mark your calendars and secure your spot for an unforgettable night of musical homage and celebration!
