NASHVILLE, Tenn. (G. Strait Official Website) - Due to the overwhelming success of the fall run of George Strait's "Road Less Traveled Tour," 21 more dates have been added for 2003. During the first 24 dates of his tour that finished in November, George played to over 358 thousand fans and grossed nearly 19 million in ticket sales.

The winter tour will kick-off in Greenville, SC on January 16 at the Bi-Lo Center and wrap in Louisville, KY on February 28 at Freedom Hall. As previously announced, Epic recording artist, Tammy Cochran will join Strait as his very special guest.
