George Strait and Grandson Harvey Deliver Heartfelt “God and Country Music” Duet Live
🇺🇸 George Strait Shares the Spotlight with Grandson Harvey in an Unforgettable Family Duet
On March 17, 2019, country legend George Strait delivered more than just a concert — he gave fans a once-in-a-lifetime memory that beautifully blended generations, tradition, and timeless values.
During his headlining set at RodeoHouston, held at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Strait surprised more than 80,000 cheering fans by inviting a very special guest to the stage: his then six-year-old grandson, Harvey Strait.
Together, they performed “God and Country Music” — and what followed was a moment that left the crowd in awe and brought many to tears.
🎶 A Song That Celebrates Faith, Family, and the Heart of Country Music
Originally featured on George Strait’s 2019 album Honky Tonk Time Machine, the track “God and Country Music” is a touching ballad that speaks to faith, patriotism, and the enduring soul of country tradition.
The lyrics capture what country music has always stood for: humility, hope, and heritage. But that night in Houston, the song took on a whole new meaning.
As Harvey stepped up to the mic and sang the final lines with his grandfather, the moment transcended performance — it became a passing of the torch, a living symbol of country values passed from one generation to the next.
“God and country music are like whiskey and a prayer,” they sang — and not a dry eye remained in the crowd.
👨👦 Who Is Harvey Strait?
