“Yellowstone” co-creator Taylor Sheridan is teaming up with cast member Ryan Bingham for a Texas wildfire benefit concert in May.
Sheridan and Bingham will host the music event at the Hotel Drover in the Fort Worth Stockyards, with all proceeds going to Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Disaster Relief Fund, according to WhiskeyRiff. The concert comes just three months after Texas battled the largest outbreak of wildfires in the state’s history.
The inferno was strong enough to melt lampposts, split power lines in half, and kill countless heads of cattle while scorching the land of those who survived. More than a million acres of the Texas panhandle burned, combining with neighboring counties and killing at least two people, according to the event’s official website.

“The Panhandle fires have devastated family, friends and fellow ranchers. It is incumbent upon all of us to help in any way possible, as we know they would do the same for us,” Sheridan said of the concert, WhiskeyRiff noted.

Bingham will perform at the concert as well as appearing to be one of the hosts.
No other names have been announced just yet. But given the fame and success of Sheridan and his television career, we’re sure plenty of Texas-based and other musicians—maybe even “Yellowstone’s” own Lainey Wilson—will be there to help their home.
