Texas country mavericks Randall King, Aaron Watson and Kevin Fowler are teaming up to help victims of the devastating wildfires that have swept through west Texas with “The Panhandle Boys: West Texas Fire Relief Concert” at the Starlight Ranch in Amarillo on March 24.

The acoustic in-the-round event will allow attendees to experience heartfelt performances in a stripped-down, soulful setting and atmosphere of unity and support for the west Texas communities in need. The trio of artists, each deeply rooted in their love for the Texas Panhandle, have showcased their concern through the swift organization of this benefit, demonstrating the power of solidarity in times of need. Proceeds will benefit The Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund, and tickets are on sale now at PanHandleBoys.com.

“As the news broke about the wildfires raging across the panhandle, the place I was born and raised, I knew we had to do something to help. Amarillo is my hometown,” shares Fowler. “These are my people. I’m so excited to join forces with my fellow panhandle boys, Aaron Watson and Randall King to do what we can to help support all the families affected by these fires and the heroes out there on the front lines.”

“My heart goes out to my homeland,” adds King. “So many families, lives and ways of living have been affected by these fires and I want to do my part to help in the best way I know how. When Kevin reached out for this opportunity, I absolutely had to jump on the chance to help heal the panhandle through the power of music.”

“As devastating as all of this has been, it’s hard to not feel hopeless but for one night, we’re going to do our part to try and bring a smile to people’s faces,” says Watson. “I’m honored to be joining the boys for this incredible benefit and to raise money to try and help these families get back on their feet.”

For those unable to attend the concert but still eager to contribute, donations can be made directly to the Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund at PanHandleBoys.com.

Country newcomer Dusty Black has signed with Brown Sellers Brown and Stone Country Records for management and label representation.

Black was formerly the CEO of Black Tie Moving, and decided to make the transition to follow a dream deeply rooted in his family’s musical heritage, as his grandfather, Floyd Black “Junior,” played for Johnny Cash. Born in Texas and raised in Memphis, his shift from the business world to the music stage was spurred by a promise to his late father. To-date, the aspiring artist has racked up over 10 million streams, and has opened for artists including Nelly, Gary LeVox, Jimmie Allen and Lauren Alaina.

“When Barry Williams told me about Dusty Black, I wasn’t looking for another artist, but as soon as I heard Dusty’s voice and his sound, I needed to meet him,” says Brown Sellers Brown Co-Owner Benny Brown. “After I met Dusty, after I got to know him, got to know his work ethic and the successes he’s had, I signed him on the spot.”

“Signing with Stone Country Records and working with Benny Brown is a dream come true,” shares Black. “Benny’s legacy in country music is unparalleled, and to have his belief in me and my music is both humbling and exhilarating. It’s a new chapter where I get to honor my roots and push the boundaries of what I can achieve as an artist. I’m excited to join this team of amazing people and talented artists.”
