George Strait, Parker McCollum and Catie Offerman set some records tonight down in Aggieland. 110,905 in attendance at Kyle Field.
That’s a new record crowd for a ticketed concert in the US, previously held by The Grateful Dead who had 107,019 fans in attendance at a 1977 show.
Jerry Jeff Walker has passed away at the age of 78.
Shook. This is a monumental loss. More to come in the coming days with articles, playlists, tributes and memorials.
Thoughts and prayers to Susan, Django and the entire Walker/Gonzo family.

🎵 Well, I played ball every single fall I could run just like the wind
Went to college like they asked me too but they didn't ask my friends
Don't think I seen a single classroom but I drank a lot of beer…🎵

64 years ago this week at a joint called the Cotton Club in Lubbock, some guy named Elvis played a gig that had an unknown local opener named Buddy Holly. THAT is Texas Music history friends.
