Texas country star Pat Green to livestream flood fundraiser concert
Pat Green
The Texas Rangers and REV Entertainment are partnering with Texas country music icon Pat Green for Pat Green & Friends: Texas Flood Relief Livestream, a special fundraising event taking place at Globe Life Field on Wednesday, July 16 at 6:30 pm.
Green's family is among the thousands who suffered terrible losses; the July 4 flood of the Guadalupe River in Central Texas claimed the lives of Green’s younger brother John, John’s wife Julia, and their two young sons — four of the 129 people known to be lost so far.
Green is hosting the fundraiser to channel his grief toward a positive end.
No audience will be in attendance, but a wide array of artists will perform or appear at the show streamed for free on YouTube, including Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Dierks Bentley, Corey Kent, Casey Donahew, Josh Abbott, Ryan Bingham, Eli Young Band, Joe Nichols, Kaitlin Butts, Ty Myers, Kevin Fowler, and Bob Schneider, with more artists being added by the hour.
All proceeds from the concert and livestream will be distributed to Kerr County Relief, TEXSAR and the Do It For Durrett Foundation via The Pat Green Foundation, directly benefiting the families affected by this heart-wrenching disaster.
Over 170 men, women and children remain missing – many of them campers like Green’s family, who set out for a holiday weekend getaway. The search will continue, but after spending his entire career bringing people together, Green knows the impact the community will have in helping the healing process begin.
The Texas Rangers and REV Entertainment are proud to support Green in this critical mission. Green and the Texas Rangers have been closely tied for many years, with his iconic “I Like Texas” played after every Rangers home win for years.
