Little Texas plays Feb. 6 benefit near Nashville

Platinum-selling country group Little Texas will perform a Feb. 6 benefit show to the Nashville-area community of Watertown and honor the memory of one of its young residents.

Beginning at 6 p.m., the country-rockers, along with openers The O'Donnells and Doug Collins, will hit the stage at Watertown High School, 515 West Main St.

Little Texas bassist Duane Propes, in a Feb. 1 interview, said he and fellow LT founding members Porter Howell (lead guitar/lead vocals), Del
Gray (drums/backing vocals) and Dwayne O'Brien (rhythm guitar) jumped at the chance to perform the fundraising show which will aid Watertown Elementary, a small-town school that is sorely in need of athletic facilities for its K-8 students.

“This all-ages concert is being held to raise funds for athletic facilities … for games and practice for this Wilson County elementary, which hosts kindergarten through 8th grade,” explained Propes, who added that a former student at the school, Cody Choate, worked hard to draw attention to the school’s need for such facilities.

“Cody Choate was a sixth-grader at Watertown Elementary who was killed in an ATV accident in summer 2007,” Propes shared. “(And) while he was alive, he championed the cause to have a football field at the school for the seventh- and eighth-grade teams."
