Dierks Bentley, Tanya Tucker, and Brad Paisley will perform at the tribute concert for country great George Jones next spring, dubbed 'Still Playing Possum: Music and Memories of George Jones.' The tribute concert, which will be filmed for television, will mark the tenth anniversary of Jones' death and will take place on April 25 at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
George's widow Nancy said: “George Jones died on April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee. It will be ten years since he left us with just his songs, so to produce this night of music to honor his legacy is perfectly fitting. George made history and influenced artists from all genres and many of them will celebrate with us in April. The night will bring lots of emotion for the fans, our family, and anyone who just loved country music.”
The concert will also include performances by Jamey Johnson, Justin Moore, Lorrie Morgan, Mark Chesnutt, Michael Ray, Sam Moore, Trace Adkins, Tracy Byrd, and Tracy Lawrence, with more artists expected to be added.
Tickets for the event are available now at Ticketmaster.
