Tracy Byrd in McMinnville

Tracy Byrd is an American country singer from Vidor, Texas, who began recording in the 1990s. His traditional honky-tonk style is heard on songs including “Holdin’ Heaven,” “Watermelon Crawl,” “The Keeper of the Stars,” “I’m from the Country” and “Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo.” In 1994, Byrd established the annual Tracy Byrd Homecoming concert in Southeast Texas as a benefit for local charities. He later returned to the road for theatre, casino and fair performances, and co-headlined dates with fellow Southeast Texas singer Mark Chesnutt under The Beaumont Boys billing.
