It looks like Dustin Lynch’s current mood is helping those in need. The “Small Town Boy” singer will be aiding Hurricane Harvey relief with a benefit concert in Dallas, Texas on September 12.

Though Lynch does not have Texas roots, he was inspired by stop at a shelter for Hurricane Harvey storm victims in Dallas after his show there on Saturday (Sept. 2). During his visit, he met with and performed for Texans who had been displaced by the hurricane with hopes that his music could bring them a bit of peace.

Lynch and his team worked quickly to plan the show as soon as possible. The date falls in the middle of a busy week for Lynch as he promotes his upcoming Current Mood album, but for him, helping others comes before anything else.

“The spirit of Texas, and of Country music, is to help your neighbor – to pitch in when others are struggling,” says Lynch. “So many people have stepped up to lend a hand to those affected by this storm, and I’m proud to do my small part to support the citizens of Houston and surrounding communities. After visiting the storm shelter, and meeting people whose lives have changed forever, the least I can do is come back to Dallas and try to raise spirits.”

The benefit show will be hosted at Cowboys Red River in Dallas. Tickets to the 18+ event are $10 and can be purchased on the KPLX and KSCS websites as well as at the door. The first 500 fans to arrive will receive a copy of Lynch’s new album Current Mood. All proceeds from the show will be donated to the American Red Cross.
