Thanks For The Music

2023 marks the 40th anniversary of Lee Greenwood writing America's most recognizable patriotic song, “God Bless The USA”. Greenwood penned the song in 1983 and it was released by MCA Nashville in 1984 becoming a mainstay year after year at every patriotic holiday party, fireworks display celebration, and military retirement. As part of the 40th-anniversary celebration, Greenwood will be touring throughout North America with several key event announcements to be soon made, however, as part of his final years of touring Greenwood has joined the roster of Action Entertainment Collaborative with Charles Ray and Nick Meinema serving as the co-responsible agents.

“Charles and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this amazing singer, American Treasure, and Patriot as he plots his final years of touring,” says AEC’s Nick Meinema.

“I am really excited to see where my final years of touring take me,” says Lee Greenwood. “I have played every clubhouse, steakhouse, and outhouse and there is nothing more enjoyable than being on stage, for me at least. I have been blessed to travel the world on USO Tours and play fairs, festivals, and theaters. I am looking forward to gracing those stages, once again, on these final years of touring.”
