Entertainer Lineup

George Strait, or "King George," is without a doubt one of the most famous country music artists in the world. Strait, a native of Pearsall, Texas, began his musical career in San Marcos, Texas, while attending then Southwest Texas State University, playing the local bar scene with his band, Ace in the Hole. In February 1981, Strait was offered a recording contract with MCA Records after executives got wind of this talented newcomer, and "the King" has made music magic with the label ever since.

Strait made his debut at RODEOHOUSTON in 1983 when he filled in for an ailing Eddie Rabbitt, and exited on horseback like a real cowboy singer, stealing the audience members' hearts. Strait's 2002 performance to close out RODEOHOUSTON in the Astrodome holds the highest attendance record for any event ever held in the legendary stadium. He's one of only five entertainers to have performed in front of more than 1 million RODEOHOUSTON fans.

During his more than 30-year career, Strait has earned some of the highest titles and honors in the business. With the most number one, gold and platinum albums in all of country music, Strait is third to Elvis Presley and The Beatles for the most gold and platinum albums in the history of music. He is the seventh best-selling artist in American music and was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006. His string of number one hits now equals his age of 59.
His latest album, "Here For A Good Time," and the lead single, mark his 39th album and 89th career single, and is the second highest debut single of his career on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Strait has been awarded nearly every major music award, often more than once, in the span of his career, including GRAMMY, Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music awards - all while staying true to his classic country roots.

As one of the biggest voices in country music, Martina McBride's 20-year career has included 11 studio albums and four headlining tours. This Kansas-born-and-raised artist connects with her fans by singing about real-life situations, both hard times and happy ones.

Her breakout single, "My Baby Loves Me," from her second album, "The Way That I Am," peaked at No. 2 on the country top 10 charts. The third single from that same album, and one of McBride's most memorable hits, "Independence Day," earned her a GRAMMY® nomination. Although the song was seen by some radio stations as sensitive subject matter - a battered woman fighting back by burning her family home to the ground - it helped put McBride on the map, and she has gone on to win more than 15 country and American music awards, and she's tied with Reba for the most CMA Female Vocalist of the Year wins.

McBride has collaborated with other big names throughout her career, including Dolly Parton, Kid Rock, Pat Monahan from Train, and even the late Elvis Presley through a digitally-produced version of "Blue Christmas."

Singles: "The Time Has Come," "My Baby Loves Me," "Life at #9," "Independence Day," " Safe in the Arms of Love," "Wild Angels," "A Broken Wing," "Valentine," "There You Are," "When God-Fearin' Women Get the Blues," "Concrete Angel," "This One's For the Girls," "In My Daughter's Eyes," "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden," "Anyway," "Wrong Baby Wrong," "Teenage Daughters," "I'm Gonna Love You Through It"

The son of a Baptist preacher and a teacher's aide, Randy Rogers grew up about 45 minutes southwest of Fort Worth in Cleburne, Texas. While attending college at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, Rogers joined a group of local songwriters and was given the opportunity to perform with a full band at a local club in San Marcos. Less than five months after that performance, the Randy Rogers Band formed and recorded its debut album, "Live at Cheatham Street Warehouse," in 2000.

Since that big break, the Randy Rogers Band has released five studio albums and another live album. With a soulful Texas sound, the Randy Rogers Band has a faithful following of Texas music fans. With music videos airing on CMT and GAC, a performance at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, and three consecutive Academy of Country Music nominations for Top Vocal Group, the Randy Rogers Band is on its way to national stardom.

The group consists of Rogers on vocals and rhythm guitar; Brady Black on fiddle; Geoffrey Hill on lead guitar; Les Lawless on drums; and Jon Richardson on bass guitar.

Singles: "Tonight's Not the Night (For Goodbye)," "Down and Out," "Somebody Take Me Home," "Kiss Me in the Dark," "One More Goodbye," "In My Arms Instead," "Buy Myself A Chance," "Too Late For Goodbye," "Steal You Away," "Last Last Chance"
