“A Texas Tribute” is an exclusive, live concert tour coinciding with the 50th anniversary season of Texas Country Reporter (2021-2022). Full of Texas tunes and featuring live narration by Bob & Kelli Phillips, this flexible package is an exciting opportunity for your orchestra (or professional wind ensemble) to present a unique concert and fundraising event with a direct, personal connection to the longest-running independent TV show in American history.

Narrated chapters on Texas history, culture, and humor are accompanied by an original live orchestral underscore — similar in approach to Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait.” These chapters — mixed with suggested Texas-themed arrangements or your own program choices — give you flexibility to build an event around your ensemble and your audience. Bob & Kelli will also appear pre- or post-concert to make the night truly memorable for your organization’s strongest supporters. The tour and its participating groups will be prominently advertised each week on Texas Country Reporter.
