"The Hill Country is hurting. Floodwaters have washed through homes, histories, and the heart of this place. Raising money now means giving folks a chance to rebuild, restore, and keep the Hill Country wild, alive, and human. We can't afford to look away," Shires said in a statement to CBS Texas.
We'll also have a special appearance by Annabel Dywer, a Nashville-based musician who grew up going to camp along the Guadalupe River, near Camp Mystic. After the devastating floods, she to share a tribute song for the victims, which she'll perform at the event.
Amanda Shires: Grammy-winning Lubbock fiddle slinger and Highwomen co-founder Amanda Shires can whisper heartbreak and howl liberation, often in the same bar. Her latest LP Take It Like a Man proves she's still chasing lightning. See her live and watch the bow sparks fly.
Coffey Anderson: Bangs, Texas' favorite son turned viral YouTube covers into a Billboard-charting, Nashville Star-tested country career. Expect gospel roots, big-hearted patriotism, and the TikTok anthem "Mr. Red White and Blue" sung at full-throttle. When Coffey hits the stage, the whole room joins the chorus.
Nate Burnham: Houston-born and Rockwall-based, Burnham walked away from a pest-control business and dove head-first into honky-tonk storytelling, landing a bluegrass duet with Randall King that tallied 20,000 streams in its first three days. His setlist swings from the tongue-in-cheek "Firebird" to front-porch ballads that leave a lump in your throat. Show up ready to laugh, two-step, and feel every word.
Grady Spencer: Born in Lubbock, raised outside Paducah, and still running construction crews by day, Spencer fronts a Fort Worth groove machine that smashes country, pop, and rock into one sweat-soaked sing-along. Tight harmonies and blue-collar grit turn every club into a Texas block party. If you like your guitar licks with calloused hands, this is your night.
David Tribble: The former middle-school science teacher swapped lesson plans for late-night stages in 2016 and quickly captured Fort Worth's songwriter crown at Magnolia Motor Lounge. His journal-born lyrics and upcoming EP feel like hush-hour confessions told under patio lights. Bring a friend—Tribble's songs were built to be shared.
