Wimberley, Texas was the hardest hit from the devastating floods that ravaged- and still ravage- Central Texas. Radney Foster and his singer/songwriter friend Bonnie Bishop have joined together to donate the proceeds from a live recording made at last night's concert at the Kessler Theater in Dallas to My Neighbor's Keeper, which delivers funds directly to flood victims. The 104 minute show features Foster covering all of his greatest hits and 100% of the proceeds of the project go to fundraising for the people in need. It is $20 for the live album. The charity is run entirely by volunteer board members who serve with no administrative salaries.
Both musicians live in Nashville, but Foster is from Del Rio, while Bishop grew up in Houston and lived in Austin. “So many of my musician friends live in Wimberley, and my nephew is an EMT in Blanco County."
“We decided to go with a local charity that could get the needed funds to victims quickly,” said Foster, who himself was a victim of flooding in his Nashville home in 2010. "We are holding all those throughout Central Texas and Oklahoma in our thoughts and prayers.”
