Houston, TX (February 11, 2010) -- Country entertainer Todd Fritsch makes a "three-peat" when he returns to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (http://hlsr.com/) talent lineup again this year. Fritsch and his band Stampede will barrel into the Rodeo (and its associated World Championship Bar-B-Que Contest) for the third consecutive year, bringing Todd's unique "traditional with a twist" sound back to the Rodeo stages for shows February 25, 26 and 27 and at The Hideout on Saturday, March 6.
Thursday (Feb. 25), Friday (Feb. 26) and Saturday (Feb. 27) :

Saturday, March 6:

In addition to his performances, Todd will assist in the judging aspects of the Contest, and it's a task he takes to heart. "This is Texas," he reminds us. "We do things in a big way here, and we are serious about our music and our Bar-B-Que."
