Texas is coming together in a big way over the next few weeks as country superstars Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum have teamed to help spearhead the Band Together Texas benefit concert, a star-studded event supporting Central Texas flood recovery efforts. Set for Sunday, August 17 at Austin’s Moody Center, the concert will not only fill the arena with music for a good cause but will also reach fans nationwide through livestreams on iHeartRadio, SiriusXM, YouTube, Facebook, and nugs.net.
Proceeds from Band Together Texas will benefit The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and the Central Texas Community Foundation, providing much-needed support to those affected by recent devastating floods. The event is made possible by the generous backing of partners including H-E-B, WoodNext Foundation, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, and more, ensuring that every note played and every dollar raised goes directly to helping Texans rebuild.
The concert boasts an all-star lineup that reads like a who’s who of Texas music royalty.
In addition to Lambert and McCollum, fans will see performances by artists including Ryan Bingham, Wade Bowen, Ronnie Dunn, Dylan Gossett, Jack Ingram, Cody Johnson, Lyle Lovett, Lukas Nelson, Jon Randall, and the Randy Rogers Band.
Band Together Texas Features Even More Longhorns
The evening will also feature appearances from notable Texans such as actors Matthew McConaughey and Dennis Quaid, former UT Longhorns coach Mack Brown and football legends Emmanuel Acho, Colt McCoy, and Vince Young, MLB star Roger Clemens, TV host Chris Harrison, and fashion designer Kendra Scott.
Tributes to first responders and flood victims, including stories of rescue and resilience, will be woven throughout the night, making it a true celebration of Texas spirit.
Miranda Lambert, a Texas native, is one of country music’s most decorated artists. With 10 solo studio albums, three Grammys, 14 CMA Awards, and the distinction of being the most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history, Lambert’s influence extends far beyond the stage. She’s a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and passionate animal advocate, having raised over $10 million for rescue efforts through her MuttNation Foundation.
Parker McCollum, also hailing from Texas, has quickly risen to country stardom with his authentic sound and heartfelt songwriting. Named an ‘Artist to Watch’ by major outlets and a two-time ACM Award winner, McCollum’s chart-topping hits like “Burn It Down” and “Pretty Heart” have made him a fan favorite. His relentless touring and sold-out shows, including three consecutive years at Rodeo Houston, underscore his dedication to his craft and his home state.
Band Together Texas is more than a concert—it’s a testament to the power of music, community, and the enduring Texas spirit. Whether in the Moody Center or tuning in from afar, fans are invited to join Lambert, McCollum, and a host of Texas legends in making a difference, one song at a time.
