Miranda Lambert And Parker McCollum Lead “Band Together Texas” Benefit For Flood Relief

In July, devastating floods swept through the Texas Hill Country, leaving behind tragic destruction and claiming the lives of 135 people. In response, the country music community united to raise funds and support victims. Several Texas-born artists stepped up, using their platforms to host benefit concerts that made a powerful impact.

Pat Green, who personally lost his brother, sister-in-law, and two nephews in the flooding, organized a benefit that raised over one million dollars. George Strait, known as the “King of Country,” also hosted an intimate show. His performance, featuring Riley Green, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, and even a surprise appearance from Garth Brooks, brought in $6.25 million for flood relief.

One of the most unforgettable highlights of the night came from Cody Johnson. Before singing, he shared a heartfelt message with the crowd:

“Sometimes God’s plan for us, we think it sucks, but it’s still God’s plan. As long as we keep the faith in Him, there’s a lot of comfort and peace.”

With those words, Johnson performed the classic hymn “How Great Thou Art.” His stripped-back version filled the arena with raw emotion. Fans raised their hands in worship as his voice echoed through the Moody Center, leaving the audience in awe.
