Gil Grand is bringing his “Strait From Me To You” George Strait tribute show to the Capitol Music Club in Saskatoon on February 27.

Gil joins us over the phone to chat about why George Strait’s music has always been a major influence on his singing, how this tribute goes far beyond a simple covers show, and why authenticity was the top priority when building the band and sound. From steel guitar and fiddle to Texas swing arrangements, the goal is to do the songs justice while celebrating one of country music’s greatest catalogs.

Gil also shared how unique it is to perform a full set where the crowd knows every word, and why prairie audiences like Saskatoon are the perfect fit for a George Strait tribute.
