/by

Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum have teamed up to host “Band Together Texas,” a benefit concert for The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and Central Texas Community Foundation, both leading ongoing flood relief efforts in Texas. The show will take place on Aug. 17 at the Moody Center in Austin.

“One of the things I love about both our artist community and our community in Texas is that we show up for one another, especially in times of such great need like folks in my home state are facing after the flood,” shares Lambert. “There is so much devastation and loss, yet what’s given me hope are the stories of those that have come to the aid of so many. That’s what we want to do with Band Together: Texans helping Texas. We hope it is a night that helps with healing while raising awareness and funds for The Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country and the Central Texas Community Foundation.”

The benefit concert will feature performances from Lambert, McCollum, Ryan Bingham, Wade Bowen, Kelly Clarkson, Ronnie Dunn, Dylan Gossett, Jack Ingram, Cody Johnson, Lyle Lovett, Lukas Nelson, Jon Randall and Randy Rogers Band.

Actors Matthew McConaughey and Dennis Quaid, former UT Longhorns coach Mack Brown and players Emmanual Acho, Colt McCoy and Vince Young, MLB legend Roger Clemens and television host Chris Harrison will also make special appearances throughout the event.

In addition to the performances and appearances, there will be tributes to first responders and flood victims, with personal stories being shared on stage.

“The flooding in the Hill Country of Texas is truly heartbreaking,” adds McCollum. “This place and these people are my community. There is a long road ahead rebuilding and even though so many families are facing the unimaginable, we’re Texas strong. Miranda is inspiring in both her music and how big her heart is, and I’m honored to be joining her for this benefit concert to support our fellow Texans and share a night of healing through music.”

Tickets will go on sale to public July 25 at 10 a.m. CST. Fans can also register for pre-sale access here until July 21 at 5 p.m. CST.
