DOUBLE
J HACIENDA & ART RANCH HOSTS BUTCH HANCOCK
AT
FIRST BRAZOS DE DIOS BENEFIT CONCERT SERIES
Mineral
Wells, Texas
On
Saturday May 3, the Art Ranch hosts: An Evening
Celebrating the Brazos River with legendary Texas singer-songwriter and member of the
Flatlanders (with Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore) Butch
Hancock.
In
honor of the 50th anniversary of John Graves’ legendary canoe trip, The
Double J Hacienda & Art Ranch supports Friends of the Brazos River in its first Brazos
De Dios Benefit Concert Series. Friends of
the Brazos River is committed to, “Restoring a sound ecological environment to the
Brazos River.”
More
than fifty years ago, in 1957, John Graves chronicled his three weeklong canoe trip down
the Brazos River in a book that became an American Classic, Goodbye to a River. John Graves’ story raised awareness of the
natural beauty of the Brazos River and in a broader sense his story brought awareness to
the importance of the environment and the ecology of America’s River systems.
The
silent auction begins at 6:00 PM, followed by dinner at 7:00 PM. Mr. Hancock’s performance begins at 8:00 PM. The evening benefits the charitable organization,
Friends of the Brazos River. Tickets are $30. To
purchase tickets call The Double J Hacienda & Art Ranch 940.325.1813.
The
Brazos De Dios Benefit Concert Series supports local and international charities that
strive to improve the quality of humanitarian, environmental, and ecological conditions.
The
Double J Hacienda & Art Ranch, overlooking the Brazos (de Dios) River and the Palo
Pinto Mountains is a creative outpost in Mineral Wells.
