Superstar George Strait With Special Guest Martina McBride At The MGM 
January 2012 begins a new year and a new tour for Superstar George Strait. The King of Country kicks off his 2012 tour January 27th in Lafayette, Louisiana and
to date, the tour itinerary includes stops in Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Oklahoma, Nevada, Utah and Kansas.
The February 4th Las Vegas appearance will go on sale
Saturday, October 29th with other ticket on-sale dates announced soon.
Year after year, night after night, when it comes to showing fans a good time whether it’s on the road or on
the radio, Strait always delivers the kind of country music fans nationwide hunger for. This year he’s invited another award-winning country music superstar to join him on stage – Martina McBride.
“I love Martina. She’s been on our tours before and she’s great,“ commented Strait. “I’m really looking forward to the tour. Martina will definitely make it a special night.”
Strait’s 39th studio album “Here For A Good Time” received rave reviews and recently debuted at Number One on the Billboard Country Album Charts (his 3rd
number one album debut in a row) and #3 on Billboard Top 200 Chart. The title track “Here For A Good Time,” written by Strait, his son Bubba Strait and songwriter Dean
Dillon, is Strait’s 73rd Top 5 hit out of 89 career singles and sits at Number 2 this week on the Billboard and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts.
“Obviously with each new album, Strait proves he's not living off the heat from those first initial hits,” says Houston Chronicle while USA Today reports “Strait hasn't lost his touch for finding astonishing material...”
George Strait has the most number one singles of any artist in history including Elvis (57 to date inclusive of all charts). He has sold nearly 69 million records and with 33
different platinum or multi-platinum albums has the most RIAA platinum certifications in country music and the third in all genres, behind The Beatles and Elvis Presley. He is
the only artist who has had 84 out of 89 radio singles make it to Top 10 (57 to Number One) and 24 albums at the number one position on Billboard’s Country Music Album Chart.
Martina McBride celebrated the release of her eleventh studio album, ELEVEN, on Republic Nashville this week with "ELEVEN Across America Powered by Amtrak," a
four-day train ride with 11 stops, which culminatesin New York City where she will light the Empire State Building pink. The current single, “I’m Gonna Love You
Through It,” is climbing the charts at radio and has seen steady online digital sales since it was released on August 19. The music video for I'm Gonna Love Your Through It"
garnered over 150,000 downloads as the iTunes "Video of The Week" and features dozens of cancer survivors and supporters, including four well-known celebrities –
Robin Roberts (anchor for ABC’s Good Morning America); Hoda Kotb (anchor for NBC’s TODAY Show); Grammy award-winning singer Sheryl Crow and ABC journalist Katie Couric – who each have very personal connections to the disease.
As one of the most spectacular voices in any genre of music, Martina McBride is a four-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, three-time ACM Female Vocalist of the
Year and GRAMMY® winning recording artist with more than18 million in album sales. Recently she was nominated for both CMA and CMT Music Awards.
Both Mediabase and Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) have also declared her as the “most played female artist on country radio for the past 11 years.” The superstar has
appeared on such high-profile programs as VH1 Divas, Dancing with the Stars, the Today show's "Today Throws a Wedding," American Idol, Oprah, The Bachelorette,
Private Sessions, a 20/20 special and will be a guest on The Late Show with David Letterman (10/13) and Good Morning America (10/14) later this week. Martina has
also graced the covers of publications like Redbook, Ladies Home Journal, People Magazine, Country Weekly and Shape.

Social Distortion
Friday, January 27 at 8 p.m.
(Special guests Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and Sharks)
Tickets start at $32
On sale now
Rock ‘n’ roll icons Social Distortion takes the stage at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Friday, January 27 with special guest Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and Sharks.
Over the past 30 years, Social Distortion has all but trademarked their sound, a brand of hard rockabilly and punk that is cut with the melodic, road-tested lyrics of front man
Mike Ness. Their searing guitars and a locomotive rhythm section sound as alive today as they did in 1982, as do Ness' hard-luck tales of love, loss and lessons learned.
Their seventh studio album Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes (the band’s first record since 2004), hit the Billboard 200 at No. 4. The album includes Ness and longtime
guitarist Jonny Wickersham, along with bassist Brent Harding and drummer David Hidalgo, Jr. Produced, for the first time, by Ness, the album maintains Social
Distortion's key components, an all-but-perfected mix of punk, bluesy rock n’ roll and outlaw country. It also finds them stretching the boundaries of their signature sound.
“California (Hustle and Flow)”, the opening track, allows fans to experience the depth and range of Social Distortion, while “Machine Gun Blues” plays more to the group’s traditional punk roots.
Now in their fourth decade, Ness and Social Distortion have officially done one of the most non-punk things possible: they have failed to burn out. Mixing Springsteen’s
factory-overalls ethic with Southern California punk energy and black leather, Social Distortion formed with Ness and high school buddy, the late Dennis Danell, in the late
1970s. The group broke in 1983 with the thrashing plate of punk and displeasure Mommy's Little Monster. Their 1988 follow-up, Prison Bound, hinted at a sonic change to com. By the band's self-titled 1990 record and 1992's Somewhere Between
Heaven and Hell, their sound had solidified into the instantly recognizable brand of rock n’ roll that has defined them since.
These days the band is rarely off the road for long and continues to grip fans that have
been around since Mommy's Little Monster while drawing new ones who discover the band through YouTube clips. Social Distortion is a mix of potent power, appealing across all age brackets.
