Formally announced as the opening acts for the March 17, 2019 show, this duo of Texas singers/songwriters are long-time friends. Having met at Texas A&M University as well as having played a number of acoustic performances together, the combination of these acts with Strait at the closing show for RodeoHouston is sure to be a record-setter.
