About the benefit

Ritter Smith said all performers are donating their time to support the museum.

“These people are coming together to raise money for the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. They’re donating their time. We want everybody to come out and help us raise this money to finish paying for that display and to make some improvements to it and to keep it going for a long time,” Ritter Smith said.

A reception will also be held Saturday morning at 10 a.m. at the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame.
