The Zac Brown Band will be having a concert this weekend on Sunday, April 17th at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas.

Tickets are a bit pricey (costing between $39.50-$59.50), but some are going online at websites like StubHub for $95.  However, these may be worth it, according to Ryan Sanders Entertainment Vice President J.J. Gottsch, this concert could be one of the biggest music events ever at the Dell Diamond.

Another event coming up is Reckless Kelly's 3rd Annual Celebrity Softball Jam on Sunday, May 1 at the Dell Diamond.

This event is something really special, members of the Reckless Kelly Band join Lowe's Heroes to refurbish youth baseball fields. Then some celebs (baseball players) come in and throw the ball around. After the game there will be a concert and fireworks!

The proceeds are donated to The Miracle League.

Tickets are only $15.

Chilifest is here!!

Like Chili? Like Texas Country? Like to have FUN?!

It's that time of the year, for Chilifest. If you are a college student, you should know about it even if you don't like Texas country. If you are a college student with friends that go to A&M, you definitely know about it because they have probably asked you a million times if you are going.

Chilifest is an event that brings tons of Texas country music entertainers to the town of Snook (basically College Station) Texas. All the proceeds from Chilifest are donated to multiple charities and causes in the Brazos Valley and its surrounding areas.

The first year Chilifest donated over $75,000 to area charities, and in 2010 that number grew to $193,000!  Last years line-up included Dwight Yoakam, Cory Morrow, Aaron Watson, Roger Creager, and the Eli Young Band. Last year Chilifest even introduced a new addition to its atmosphere, the Chilifest Jumbotron.


Chilifest is on Saturday, April 10th performances include: Dierks Bentley, Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers Band, Stoney LaRue, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, and the Bart Crow Band.

Where does all this happen? In a pasture of course! To make Chilifest possible, fifteen acres of pastureland are turned into a two day event made up of chili, live Texas country music, beer, and loads of fun.

Tickets cost $30 in advance and $35 at the door.
