The world of country music has fallen quiet. After many years, Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry — the last standing pillars of Alabama — have officially announced a special tour titled “The Night of Gratitude” 2025. But this time, it is not just another tour. It is a promise, a night of remembrance, and a song of thanksgiving.
Each stage of the tour will become a place of tribute — where timeless country anthems rise again to honor friends, brothers, and legends who are no longer here. From Jeff Cook, the bandmate who helped Alabama carve its name into history, to countless voices now etched in eternity, “The Night of Gratitude” will be a bridge between the past, the present, and the future.
Randy spoke with deep emotion:
“We’re not stepping on stage for ourselves. We’re singing to remember, to give thanks, and to never forget those who gave country music its soul.”
Audiences will not simply hear music — they will witness a family, a community of artists from every generation lifting their voices together. From George Strait and Reba McEntire to today’s torchbearers like Lainey Wilson, each artist will bring a song, a memory, and a thank-you.
And when the final lights fade and the last note falls silent, what remains will be more than applause. It will be reverence. It will be silence — the sacred silence that comes only after music has turned into prayer.
