New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Following the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, TX and the surrounding region, Texan Hayes Carll has announced that he will donate all net proceeds from his September 16 headline show at Bowery Ballroom in New York City. The donation will be made to musicians in Houston, TX via MusiCares, a GRAMMY foundation that provides support and community services to musicians in need of medical, personal & financial assistance.
"Watching the resilience and strength of the people in my home state of Texas has been inspiring, as has watching the country come together to help those who have been so devastatingly affected by Hurricane Harvey," said Carll. "I know firsthand what it is like to experience loss during a natural disaster and how far any bit of help goes. All net proceeds from my concert at Bowery Ballroom will go to MusiCares to help the many musicians in Texas whose lives have been affected. Please come out for a night of music to help us support those who entertain and inspire us."
