At Gilley's Saloon, the spirit of country music royalty comes alive with Derek Spence's remarkable George Strait tribute. Known as the #1 George Strait tribute act in America, Spence creates an illusion so complete that audiences are often stunned by the uncanny resemblance before he even sings a note. The performance features Spence's spot-on vocal delivery, signature stage presence, and authentic style backed by a stellar band, delivering the beloved hits from the King of Country's legendary catalog.

This tribute serves as the perfect NFR® after-party, bringing the classic country atmosphere to complement the rodeo excitement. The western-themed environment of Gilley's—with its leather saddle seats and frontier saloon vibe—provides an ideal backdrop for this immersive country music experience. Guests must be 21 or older to attend, and there is a cover charge following the NFR viewing parties.
