Robert Earl Keen To Host ‘Buc-ee’s Presents: Applause For The Cause’ Texas Benefit
Robert Earl Keen is hosting a one-night-only fundraiser, “Buc-ee’s Presents Robert Earl Keen and Friends: Applause for the Cause,” on Aug. 28 at Whitewater Amphitheater outside of New Braunfels, Texas.
Keen will hit the stage with special guest Tyler Childers alongside a special trio set from Miranda Lambert, Jon Randall and Jack Ingram, plus Cross Canadian Ragweed, Randy Rogers, Ryan Bingham, Ray Wylie Hubbard and more to raise money for the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country.
This Friday, (July 18) reserved seating tickets and general admission tickets will go on sale, and at the time of purchase, attendees will be given the opportunity to purchase a ticket for a local first responder to attend Applause for the Cause. For those interested, these special first responder tickets can be purchased and gifted without attending the event. Tickets can be purchased at whitewaterrocks.com.
Doors for Applause for the Cause are scheduled to open at 3 p.m., kicking off with Lloyd Maines and his Austin City Limits Band with special guest vocalists. As the sun sets, full-band sets from music legends from Texas and beyond will begin, including a special closing set by Robert Earl Keen and Tyler Childers.
“This is a star-studded lineup with music starting in the mid-afternoon and lasting far into the night,” says Keen. “We must help everyone as much as we can, for as long as we can.”
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to support the relief efforts of so many for our beloved Hill Country. The tragedies are beyond belief.” says Beaver Aplin, founder of Buc-ee’s. “Buc-ee’s teaming with Robert Earl Keen and friends for this benefit concert just seemed like the right thing to do. When we learned 100 percent of our commitment goes to the Community Foundation of the Hill Country, we were all in.”
