George Strait was joined by a very special guest during his record-breaking performance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo last year. The King of Country brought his grandson, Harvey Strait, to the stage to sing "God and Country Music."
Harvey Strait also appears on the studio version of the song and his grandfather is clearly proud to see him make his live debut at RodeoHouston.
Strait closed out the rodeo, performing for over 80,000 attendees. According to the Houston Chronicle, Strait set a new NRG Stadium attendance record with his performance.
