SUMMARY:Country for Country 2024
DESCRIPTION:A Concert\, Dinner\, and Auction benefiting Sons of the Flag\n\n\n\nAaron Watson\nCONCERT AND COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE!\n\n\nSaturday\, October 5 – Doors Open at 5:00 pm; Program Begins at 6:30 pm \nWilsons’ Barn (3R’s Ranch); 1695 Coit Rd.\, Prosper\, TX 75078 \nPlease email sherry@sonsoftheflag.org for additional details! \nEach year\, Sons of the Flag is proud to present our Country for Country Concert\, Dinner\, and Auction in Prosper\, Texas. We cannot thank the Pettis Family and Brown & Griffin Real Estate Advisors enough for their continued support as our Presenting Sponsors! \nAARON WATSON ~ 14 TX #1 SINGLES\, 10 TOP 10 ALBUMS\, AND NEARLY 3\,000 SHOWS \nAaron Watson’s career is perhaps summed up best by Forbes\, who says he’s “one of country music’s biggest DIY success stories.” For over 20 years\, Aaron Watson has traveled the land as country’s ultimate underdog troubadour – a truly independent artist with the spirit of the American frontier in his veins\, and a self-made empire to match. Working without corporate backers\, he has nonetheless reached the Top 10 of Billboard’s Country Album chart five separate times – an impressive feat by any standard – and that includes his triumphant 2015 set\, The Underdog\, which landed at #1\, becoming the first independent album in the history of country music to top the Billboard Country Albums chart. \nMatching sold-out shows across the country with homegrown hits\, he’s followed suit at country radio\, making history in 2017 when his single\, “Outta Style\,” went Top 10 on the BDS/Mediabase chart\, making Aaron one of only three independent artists in 30 years to achieve that feat. “Watson has made a career out of giving his fans music that focuses on the positive. Music that serves as a salve to what ails them. Music filled with light and joy and an abundance of pride for the country he calls home\,” said People.com of the 2021 American Soul album. Still pushing into the wind\, Unwanted Man finds a creative renegade continuing to do what he does best\, now working at the most “dangerous” level of his career. With a dozen additional records under his belt\, Watson is exceeding major-label-sized metrics while maintaining his independence\, further galvanizing his “Texas country’s reigning indie underdog” (Rolling Stone) brand. “There may be no more genuine singer-songwriter at the moment than Watson\,” says Texas Monthly\, pointing to a self-made businessman\, chart-topper\, and road warrior whose authenticity has made him a country music staple. \nWe hope you will join us in October\, to celebrate our 10th Annual Country for Country Event! For those of you that enjoy this fantastic event each year\, for those of you that have attended a few\, and for those of you whose first Country for Country show will be this year\, you are in for the best show yet\, with lots of surprises to honor this event’s 10th Year in Prosper! \nWe are so grateful to you for your support of Sons of the Flag\, a nonprofit organization that revolutionizes burn care for veterans\, first responders\, and families\, through funding for surgical programs\, burn fellowships\, capital funding for burn unit equipment\, and direct burn survivor support. \nAfter 10 years of this event\, and 12 years as a nonprofit\, Sons of the Flag is funding more burn survivor programs than ever through your generosity and friendship!
