On August 28th at Whitewater Amphitheater outside of New Braunfels, Texas, Robert Earl Keen will hit the stage with special guest Tyler Childers, alongside a special trio set from Miranda Lambert, Jon Randall, and Jack Ingram, plus Cross Canadian Ragweed, Randy Rogers, Ryan Bingham, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and many more to raise money for the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country in response to the horrific July 4th flooding tragedy in Kerr County.
Keen -- a Texan, specifically of Kerrville -- called upon his country music peers, and secured a venue and date for a one-night-only fundraising event, Buc-ee's Presents Robert Earl Keen and Friends: Applause for the Cause.
"This is a star-studded lineup with music starting in the mid-afternoon and lasting far into the night," says Keen. "We must help everyone as much as we can, for as long as we can." Beaver Aplin, founder of Buc-ee's, echoes Keen. "We are pleased to have the opportunity to support the relief efforts of so many for our beloved Hill Country. The tragedies are beyond belief." Aplin continues, "Buc-ee's teaming with Robert Earl Keen and friends for this benefit concert just seemed like the right thing to do. When we learned 100 percent of our commitment goes to the Community Foundation of the Hill Country, we were all in."
This Friday, July 18th, at noon Central, reserved seating tickets ($200) and general admission tickets ($99) will go on sale, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. Additionally, at the time of purchase, attendees will be given the opportunity to purchase a ticket for a local first responder to attend Applause for the Cause. For those interested, these special first responder tickets can be purchased and gifted without attending the event. For all tickets, please visit whitewaterrocks.com.
Doors for Applause for the Cause are scheduled to open at 3 PM, kicking off with Lloyd Maines and his Austin City Limits Band with special guest vocalists. As the sun goes down, fans and supporters can expect full-band sets from music legends from Texas and beyond, including a special closing set shared by Keen and Childers.
