It was a little slice of Texas, as Aaron Watson and friends entertained the crowd at the Ryman Auditorium called A NIGHT OF TEXAS AT THE RYMAN to a near capacity audience.
It was a benefit concert to help raise funds to be donated to the Red Cross to help victims of the recent hurricane that hit Watson’s home state of Texas very hard. They are still trying to recover, which will probably take several months, possibly years, as Nashville residents are well aware of following the major flood that devastated our city a few years back. Not easy to recover from something like this. Many residents and businesses heartbreakingly lost everything.
Aaron Watson was joined this special night on the Ryman stage by other fellow native Texans: Mickey Guyton, Jon Wolfe, Jim Collins, and Leslie Satcher. They played all night with Watson closing out the evening with his full band playing a marathon set to an appreciative crowd that seemed to be filled with a lot of native Texan transplants living in Nashville now, as their Texas pride was acknowledged several times loudly at any mention of Texas.
It was a great night of Texas country music all for a good cause.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis. For unknown reasons, NFL players are four times as likely to develop ALS and veterans are twice as likely to develop ALS as the general population.
