Honky Tonkin' for Hope

Last Sunday was a first for the Hope Center for Autism.  Honky Tonkin' for Hope event was held at Filthy McNasty's Saloon in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards.  23 amazing musicians came out and did and acoustic style song swap to benefit the Hope Center for Autism.  It was a great success and they helped raise over $5,000.00 to go towards the Hope Center's scholarship fund.  Almost 300 people were in attendance and we blew the doors off Filthy McNasty's!  Check out great music from those who helped make this night a success!  Ernest Garza, Dempsey Pullen, Clark Bandy, Lonnie Dee, Taylor Adkinson, Ricky Tiwater, Wade Reeves, Derek Larson, Michael Padgett, Chris Canterbury, Aubrey Lynn England, Elisabeth Taylor, TC Fambro, Clint Levi, Heather Roberts, Jimmy Jones, Sonny Burgess, Steve Ramsey, Austin Allsup, Jimmy Sliger, Matt Wayne, Ryan Turner and Andrew Carman.  All of the artists who performed signed an acoustic guitar that was raffled off at the end of the night.  The winner of the guitar was Lee Cothorn.  Congratulations Lee!
