A Night For Austin Benefits The Community Amid COVID-19

AUSTIN, TX —As Austin continues to rally together to overcome COVID-19, the community can look forward to a special night of entertainment to benefit businesses and organizations most impacted by the disease. A Night for Austin, a two hour commercial free "telethon style" television and streaming broadcast will air Wednesday, June 10, beginning at 8 p.m.

Singer-songwriter Paul Simon organized the event that offers a night of star-studded talent including Willie Nelson, James Taylor, among many more and will feature appearances from native Texans such as Ethan Hawke, Renée Zellweger, Woody Harrelson, and Owen Wilson and others. "The coronavirus has completely upended live music in Austin, which is why we must come together to support the industry that makes our city special. Austin Community Foundation is honored to work with Paul Simon to bring much-needed relief to those who rely on the music scene for their livelihood. The funds raised through A Night For Austin will go to nonprofit organizations equipped to help musicians, producers, venue owners, and others persevere through these difficult times," said Mike Nellis, CEO of Austin Community Foundation.
