Wade Bowen will host his 15th Annual Bowen Classic celebrity golf tournament and concert to benefit The Bowen Family Foundation on June 2 and 3 in Bowen’s hometown of Waco, Texas. Over the past four years, Bowen has raised nearly half a million dollars for various local organizations in need.  In light of recent events, Bowen has determined that this year’s event will benefit the townspeople and organizations affected by the recent tragedy in nearby West, Texas.

The event kicks off with an all-star concert on June 2 at Indian Springs Park (100 University Parks Drive between Franklin and Washington Ave.) featuring Bowen and friends, including Josh Abbott Band, Aaron Watson, Neal McCoy, Cody Canada & Seth James of The Departed, Willy Braun of Reckless Kelly, Charlie Worsham, Cody Johnson, Josh Weathers and others.
