In case you missed it...
Country musicians continue to give their time and their efforts towards helping Texas flood victims. The July 4th weekend Texas floods have taken 130 lives, with over 100 people still missing weeks later. Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum have organized a benefit concert, "Band Together Texas," to raise money for flood relief efforts. It's certainly jam-packed with huge names: along with Lambert and McCollum, the benefit will feature performers Kelly Clarkson, Cody Johnson, Ronnie Dunn, Lyle Lovett, Randy Rodgers Band and more. Non-musicians who will appear include Matthew McConaughey, Denis Quaid, Roger Clemens and others. The concert will take place on Sunday, August 17th at Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Tickets will be made available at BandTogetherTexas.com. Presale starts Wednesday, July 23rd at 10am CT. Any remaining tickets will be available at general on sale beginning on Friday, July 25th at 10AM Central Time.
