Pat Green & Friends benefit concert raises $1M for Texas flood victims

Country music and community came together in a powerful way Wednesday night as Pat Green and dozens of musicians performed in a special livestream concert to support victims of catastrophic flooding in Central Texas.

The “no audience” concert, held at Globe Life Field in Arlington on July 16, raised more than $1 million for families affected by the deadly floods that struck over the Fourth of July holiday.

Catastrophic flooding leaves hundreds dead or missing

The flooding disaster claimed at least 132 lives and left more than 100 people missing. It devastated communities across Central Texas, with widespread damage to homes, infrastructure and lives.

Among those personally impacted was Pat Green himself. The Texas native lost his brother, sister-in-law and their two young sons while they were on a camping trip during the storm.

Globe Life Field transformed for virtual benefit

The Pat Green Foundation hosted the benefit concert at Globe Life Field with no live audience — only cameras and music. The Texas Rangers and REV Entertainment partnered to make the event possible.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott also made a virtual appearance, sharing a video message of support during the livestream.

Oklahoma artists among star-studded lineup

Oklahoma’s music scene was well-represented at the event. Performers included:

1. Corey Kent
2. Cross Canadian Ragweed
3. Kaitlin Butts

They joined a long list of country stars from across the region, including Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi, Casey Donahew, Josh Abbott, Eli Young Band, Joe Nichols, Ty Myers, Kevin Fowler and Bob Schneider.
