Dustin Lynch is the latest artist to step forward to lend a hand to Hurricane Harvey survivors. The artist will hold a benefit concert in Dallas Tuesday (Sept. 12) to support ongoing emergency storm relief efforts throughout the state. Lynch spontaneously made the decision to hold the benefit after visiting with storm victims in a Dallas shelter following his performance in the city Saturday (Sept. 2).

“The spirit of Texas, and of Country music, is to help your neighbor—to pitch in when others are struggling,” says Lynch. “So many people have stepped up to lend a hand to those affected by this storm, and I’m proud to do my small part to support the citizens of Houston and surrounding communities. After visiting the storm shelter, and meeting people whose lives have changed forever, the least I can do is come back to Dallas and try to raise spirits.”

The benefit will be held Tuesday at Cowboys Red River in Dallas. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased on the KPLX and KSCS websites as well as at the door. The first 500 fans in attendance will receive a physical copy of Lynch’s hotly-anticipated upcoming album Current Mood, due out Sept. 8.

All ticket proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross Storm Relief.

The concert will cap off a busy week for Lynch, who will perform on NBC’s Today show tomorrow (Sept. 7) and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Sept. 14 to launch Current Mood. Tomorrow night he will visit the iHeartRadio Theater in New York City for a live performance and Q&A session about the new project. The event will be broadcast across iHeartRadio’s mainstream Country stations, and also live-streamed on the iHeartRadio YouTube channel and iHeartRadio app.
