The Do It for Durrett Benefit Concert, which will help raise money for the family of sports reporter Richard Durrett, has been set for 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 8 at Billy Bob's Texas in Fort Worth.
The concert will feature the All Stars of Texas Country along with Old 97s lead singer Rhett Miller and Nashville recording artist Daphne Miller. While the stars weren't of the show weren't announced, they have combined for 12 sold-out shows at Billy Bob's.
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m., and are available at billybobstexas.com and the Billy Bob's Box Office. The cost is $20 in advance. All tickets at the door are $30, and a limited number of VIP tickets for $100 are also available.
"It's going to be a great night," said Rangers TV personality Emily Jones. "The music's going to be great. The auction items we've received so far are unbelievable. It's a great opportunity to raise money for the Richard Durrett Family Fund. We're hoping for a huge turnout."
The night will feature the sports auction to end all auctions. In addition to a silent auction that will include everything from autographed memorabilia from the likes of Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Russell Wilson and Miguel Cabrera, there will be a live sports auction that can't be topped.
There will be an opportunity to win a seat next to Mark Cuban at a Mavericks game, a VIP season ticket package at Texas Motor Speedway for the entire 2015 race season, a dinner with Rangers general manager Jon Daniels and Michael Young and behind-the-scenes packages for Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks and Texas Rangers games.
FOX Sports Southwest's John Rhadigan will run the auction and Rangers public-address announcer Chuck Morgan is emceeing the event.
