Chris Stapleton Reschedules Shows Again…

Country superstar Chris Stapleton has once again rescheduled the first 3 tour dates of his April, “All-American Road Show,” because of the covid-19 pandemic. Even though people are getting vaccinated and covid case numbers are on the decline, the “Starting Over” crooner isn’t taking any chances. Stapleton took to twitter to let fans know that his shows in Toledo, and Columbus Ohio and Lexington, Kentucky will be rescheduled for April of 2022. What a tour this will be… Willie Nelson & family, Sheryl crow and Margo Price are expected to perform. Btw, his Denver shows at Ball Arena this June are still on!

Texas Rangers Pay Tribute to Late Charley Pride

With less than two weeks away from major league baseball’s opening day, the Texas rangers have paid tribute to country legend the late Charley Pride. The Rangers announced earlier this week that they will rename their spring training complex in Surprise, Arizona to “Charley Pride Field”. This posthumous honor comes just 3 months after the country music hall of famer died from complications related to covid-19, at the age of 86. Pride was a part owner of the Texas Rangers since 2010 and was a frequent visitor to the Rangers spring training facility.
