Hudson Westbrook headlined a benefit concert in his hometown of Stephenville, Texas last week, donating $100,000 to the Erath County Junior Livestock Association. The show took place at Tarleton State University’s EECU Event Center, where all proceeds went toward rebuilding livestock facilities where local chapters of FFA and 4-H exhibit their animals.
“These funds are going to rebuild the same livestock barn I grew up showing my pigs in,” Westbrook shares. “To be able to give back to the community in this way and to have so many people I’ve known all my life show up means everything to me and my crew.”
Westbrook was surprised ahead of the show with a RIAA Gold certification for “5 To 9,” and RIAA Platinum certification for his top 10 debut country radio single “House Again.”
