This page is dedicated to the most amazing band in all of country music, the Ace In the Hole Band. Some of these dedicated, loyal and very talented musicians have been with George Strait since the very beginning. They are exemplary musicians, excelling in their craft far above and beyond other bands in the business. They make George's songs he records with studio musicians sound even better in person, which is a testament to their capabilities and experience. And they are as nice as they are talented. We also salute the road crew who help put the tours together and oversee the thousands of details to make each show possible as well as to protect George from overzealous fans. We the fans salute them for their wonderful music, their attention to detail, their dedication, their ability to entertain us on tour and for their friendship. Thank you!!! |
