GEORGE STRAIT’S MOODY FIRST-OF-FOUR
DRAWS DANCING AND DELIGHT 
With 28 Songs Spanning Two Hours, Strait Packs 15k Fans + Hits  

 

In his first show of 2026, George Strait sauntered to Moody’s center stage last night in his signature starched Wranglers and black Resistol hat just after 8:45p, leading more than 15,000 fans through a two-hour, 28-song set singalong in his first night’s set of arena doubles bookending the icon and Country Music Hall of Fame member and recent Kennedy Center Honoree’s seven show season.

Fans weren’t the only ones who dressed up for the occasion. The arena – which Strait opened with Willie Nelson in April 2022 – was decked to the nines in Strait Moody Center signage welcoming “The King of Country” back to the stage for the first time in nearly four years. And Austin didn’t just show up, they came to sway, sing and two-step, taking to the aisles in pairs on “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind” and shuffling along to “I Just Want To Dance With You.”

“I see we got some cowboys out there tonight, I love it,” Strait gleamed midway through his setlist including so many of the icon’s 60 No. 1 hits. “I love seeing you cowboys out there because you bring the cowgirls with you; this song is for all you cowgirls,” he proclaimed before performing “How ‘Bout Them Cowgirls” from his 2007 album, It Just Comes Natural. 

Texas native William Beckmann opened the evening and will return this Saturday, April 11. Additionally, Carter Faith will join George Strait for his return to the Moody Center on May 15 and 16, marking his final shows of the season.

With additional tickets recently released, limited seats remain available for purchase for Strait’s remaining 2026 shows at georgestrait.com.

NEW ALBUM CARRY THE LIGHT, CO-CREATED WITH SON JULIAN FRAMPTON, OUT MAY 15th

 

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy Award-winning guitarist Peter Frampton today shares a new single, “Lions at the Gate,” featuring Tom Morello. Today’s release follows iHeartRadio’s world premiere of the track, where they aired the song on all of their Classic Rock stations around the country yesterday. The song is the latest release from Frampton’s upcoming album, Carry the Light, his first album of all-new material in 16 years, on May 15 th. Co-written and produced with his son Julian Frampton, the collection also includes guest appearances by Sheryl Crow, Bill Evans, H.E.R., Graham Nash and Benmont Tench.

“Lions at the Gate is a powerful track with a powerful message, and Tom’s playing took it to another level,” said Frampton.

 

 

“Lions at the Gate,” a dynamic protest song featuring guitar by Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, draws inspiration from lion statues outside Hollywood elite mansions in the 1920s. Frampton incorporates Morello’s signature heat to urge listeners to “tear down the lions at the gate,” symbolizing a bold challenge to the ultra-powerful. Julian Frampton also contributes vocals to the ferocious track.

The new track follows the previously released single, “Buried Treasure,” featuring keyboardist Benmont Tench of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers—listen here. A tribute to the late Tom Petty, the track honors the SiriusXM radio show of the same name that Petty curated and hosted for 15 years, with lyrics crafted entirely from Petty’s song titles. Frampton personally sought out Tench to add his signature style to the Petty homage.

For Frampton, Carry the Light is a reflection of the present, rooted in the challenges, changes and connections that have defined recent years. The title itself is a statement of purpose; to Frampton, the light represents wisdom, something to be carried forward. At its core, the album is a deeply personal document, one that Frampton credits in large part to the experience of making it alongside his son. “This may be the best album Peter’s ever made,” said engineer and co-producer Chuck Ainlay (Mark Knopfler, Miranda Lambert, George Strait). “The songs are just so poignant, and his voice has matured in a way that really delivers what he’s trying to get across.’”

“The Carry the Light album is the first new music from me in 16 years. It was one of my most enjoyable projects ever. I got to work with my son Julian—writing and producing together. A first of many for us I’m sure,” Frampton said.

Frampton is surrounded on Carry The Light by an all-star supporting cast: Sheryl Crow is Frampton’s vocal foil on “Breaking the Mold,” Bill Evans adds saxophone to both “Can You Take Me There” and “Tinderbox,” H.E.R. trades guitar lines on the instrumental “Islamorada,” Tom Morello brings his distinctive intensity to “Lions at the Gate,” Graham Nash lends harmonies to “I’m Sorry Elle,” Benmont Tench contributes keyboards to “Buried Treasure.” Everyone asked to participate in Carry the Light gladly heeded the call to lend their support and create new material with an artist who’s been dispersing endless goodwill and great music across the globe for more than six decades and counting.

Carry The Light will be released in a variety of formats, including CD, 180-gram yellow vinyl and digitally in stereo, hi-res audio and immersive Dolby Atmos® options. A special limited-edition vinyl, which will feature a premium cover treatment and be numbered, will be available exclusively via Peter Frampton’s official store, uDiscover Music and Sound of Vinyl.

Earlier this year, Peter celebrated the 50^th anniversary of his iconic album Frampton Comes Alive! Upon its original release in 1976, Frampton Comes Alive! became a cultural phenomenon and remains one of the top-selling live albums of all time, with nearly 20 million copies sold worldwide. In honor of the milestone, Peter released a Vinylphyle edition of the landmark album via A&M/UMe. The limited Vinylphyle double LP pressing is sourced from the original 1975 Doug Sax 1/4″ production master, with lacquers cut by Joe Nino-Hernes, and pressed on 180g black vinyl at RTI. The package features a four-panel insert including a new interview with Frampton and Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop.

Over the course of a career spanning more than six decades, Peter Frampton has established himself as one of the most celebrated guitarists in rock history. In 2007, he won a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album for Fingerprints; in 2014, he was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame; and in 2019, he received the Les Paul Innovation Award at NAMM’s TEC Awards.

In 2020, Frampton was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, his autobiography, “Do You Feel Like I Do?: A Memoir,” debuted on The New York Times Bestsellers list and he appeared on Dolly Parton’s latest album, Rockstar, as the only artist featured on two tracks.

In 2023, Frampton unveiled Frampton@50 on Intervention Records, a numbered limited-edition vinyl box set featuring Frampton’s essential 1972-1975 studio releases Wind of Change, Frampton’s Camel and Frampton. He also received The Myositis Association’s Heroes in the Fight 2023 Patient Ambassador Award and unveiled his historic performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

 

In 2024, he received the Les Paul Spirit Award at Gibson Garage Nashville, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and wrapped an extensive headline tour before returning to the studio to record Carry the Light.
