About George Strait
George Strait is a country artist from Poteet, TX.
George Strait was born in Poteet in 1952 and raised in nearby Pearsall. He started playing country music while serving in the US Army, then formed the Ace in the Hole Band while studying agriculture at Southwest Texas State. His debut single for MCA, 'Unwound', came out in 1981, and he has stayed with the label ever since.
His records lean on Western swing, honky-tonk shuffles and plain ballads, sung in an even, unhurried baritone at a time when much of Nashville was chasing pop crossover. He starred in the 1992 film 'Pure Country' and ran a farewell tour, 'The Cowboy Rides Away', in 2013 and 2014. Afterwards he kept performing selected concerts, including a run of Las Vegas shows billed as 'Strait to Vegas'.
