STEPHENVILLE, TX – November 3, 2025 – On Saturday night (11/1), River House Artists / Warner Music Nashville’s skyrocketing Texas country star Hudson Westbrook headlined a benefit concert in his hometown of Stephenville, TX, donating $100,000 to the Erath County Junior Livestock Association.

The show took place at Tarleton State University’s EECU Event Center, where all proceeds went toward rebuilding livestock facilities where local chapters of FFA and 4-H exhibit their animals.

“These funds are going to rebuild the same livestock barn I grew up showing my pigs in,” Westbrook shares. “To be able to give back to the community in this way and to have so many people I’ve known all my life show up means everything to me and my crew.”

Before the event, Westbrook was surprised by River House Artists / Warner Music Nashville staff, alongside his co-writers, with two plaques — RIAA GOLD certification for breakout smash “5 To 9,” and RIAA PLATINUM certification for Top 10 debut country radio single “House Again.”
