Koe Wetzel And Friends Raise More Than $774,000 For Kerr County Flood Relief

Texas born Koe Wetzel’s benefit for Kerr County flood relief, “Koe Wetzel & Friends: Stronger Together,” raised $774,870, and counting. A raffle for a Can-Am Defender Max Lone Star Cab provided by Progressive Powersports in Granbury, Texas, is open through Labor Day weekend and fans are still able to donate.

The Aug, 4 event held at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas, featured performances from Wetzel and a lineup of friends, including Kolby Cooper, Casey Donahew, Ray Wylie and Lucas Hubbard, Pecos Hurley of Pecos & The Rooftops, Mike Ryan, Shane Smith of Shane Smith & The Saints and Dylan Wheeler. 
 
“To see how packed the fans had the Pavilion on a Monday night – that love and support for this cause meant everything,” says Wetzel in a release. “I can’t say thank you enough to my buddies who came out and donated their time, too. Seeing them all get up there and play with the band I’m blessed to stand on stage with every night is something I won’t forget for a long time!”
 
Highlights included Wetzel’s cult-classic “February 28, 2016” getting the night started to Wheeler’s cover of Deana Carter’s “Strawberry Wine,” Ray Wylie Hubbard sharing the stage with his son, Lucas, Hurley delivering a rousing take on Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red White & Blue” and more.

“If this isn’t a testament to what we are, who we are as a state, I don’t know what god damn Texas means,” the multi-Platinum singer-songwriter proclaimed from the stage. “I’m so f*ckin’ proud to be a Texan.”
