On Friday, July 18, the Texas natives and musicians announced that they will be hosting a benefit concert to support those affected by the Texas floods, with proceeds going towards The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and Central Texas Community Foundation. 

The concert, called Band Together Texas, will take place on Sunday, Aug. 17, at Moody Center in Austin.

Lambert, 41, and McCollum, 33, will work together with other stars with Texas roots to raise funds for flood-impacted communities as they recover and rebuild from the devastation.

Joining Lambert and McCollum are musicians Ryan Bingham, Wade Bowen, Kelly Clarkson, Ronnie Dunn, Dylan Gossett, Jack Ingram, Cody Johnson, Lyle Lovett, Lukas Nelson, Jon Randall and the Randy Rogers Band. 

Actors Matthew McConaughey and Dennis Quaid, former University of Texas Longhorns coach Mack Brown and players Emmanuel Acho, Colt McCoy and Vince Young will make appearances during the benefit.

Baseball star Roger Clemens, who hails from Houston, along with television host and Dallas native Chris Harrison, are also part of the event’s roster.

Pre a press release, Band Together Texas will also feature “tributes to first responders and flood victims, including stories of rescue and resilience shared on stage by emergency personnel.”

The Texas flooding began on July 4, when unprecedented rainfall overflowed the Guadalupe River and flooded parts of the Texas Hill Country. The death toll currently stands at 132 people, with dozens still missing.
