Every chord played in Austin tells a story, weaving together the fabric of a city built on sound and soul. In the Live Music Capital of the World, concerts are more than just entertainment—they’re a way of life. Stand Together, a philanthropic community committed to tackling the root causes of the country’s biggest challenges, is turning up the volume on change once again. Using music’s unifying power alongside Austin Arena Co’s community outreach platform, Red River Rising, Stand Together will co-produce its second benefit concert in Austin, demonstrating the power of music as a force for good.

Taking place on Thursday, September 11th at Moody Center, the Stand Together benefit concert will feature Seven-time reigning Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music “Group of the Year” Old Dominion, with Austin-Native Ty Meyers and special guest John Morgan. Old Dominion’s Odies fan community will receive first access to tickets on Wednesday April 9 at 10am CT register for presale access at weareolddominion.com/join/. Moody Center will host a venue presale Thursday April 10 at 10AM CT with code GOODTIME. All tickets will be on sale to the general public Friday, April 11 at 10AM CT at moodycenteratx.com.

Following the success of last year’s inaugural event which raised $45,000 for Mobile Loaves and Fishes, the continued partnership will once again drive positive change through music. All net ticket revenue from the 2025 Stand Together presents Old Dominion benefit concert will go to Travis Manion Foundation, a leading veteran service organization focused on empowering our nation’s heroes and families of the fallen to develop character in future generations. With over half of veterans and surviving families reporting feeling disconnected and isolated post service or loss, TMF addresses the root causes of mental health and well-being by providing personal development, opportunities to find renewed purpose through service, and a supportive and understanding community.

“Coming off a successful debut concert last year, we are excited to once again collaborate with Red River Rising to co-produce the annual benefit concert at Moody Center,” said Colette Weintraub, Head of Stand Together Music, Sports & Entertainment. “Events like this give us the chance to support organizations like Travis Manion Foundation, who is making a real difference every day by empowering the community.” She added, “We see immense potential within the music industry to drive social change, and we’re thankful for our partnership with Oak View Group to help artists create a lasting impact on the causes that matter most to them.”

Stand Together will continue to play a key role in expanding the initiative’s influence and outreach within the community. On site fans can expect opportunities to engage with and learn about the beneficiary at Moody Center. From the moment of arrival, audiences will find ways to take action and make meaningful connections.

“Old Dominion sits prominently at the forefront of country music," said Jeff Nickler, Senior Vice President of OVG Austin and General Manager of Moody Center. "Selecting the right artists annually to support this partnership allows us to combine the power of live entertainment with grassroots solutions to some of Austin’s biggest challenges. We’re grateful to have Old Dominion headline this year’s event and look forward to another unforgettable night of music and impact." He added, "Bringing people together through music is at the core of what we do at Moody Center, and donating all net ticket proceeds is a perfect example of our dedication to the Austin community and beyond. We’re honored to partner with Stand Together and Red River Rising to support Travis Manion Foundation and their incredible work with the veterans in our city and beyond.”

“Community is at the center of everything we do at Travis Manion Foundation – each day we work to build a supportive community that empowers our nation’s veterans and families of the fallen to inspire character in future generations,” said Ryan Manion, CEO, Travis Manion Foundation. “Our partnership with Red River Rising and Stand Together is another way for us to build community and lean on each other’s strengths to create lasting impact. We’re excited about this partnership and look forward to bringing people together.”

This strategic partnership between Stand Together and Red River Rising aims to catalyze significant positive change in Austin, TX, across a spectrum of initiatives, including community engagement, education, youth development, and social justice. The September 11 concert marks the second benefit concert stemming from group’s impactful partnership. Stand Together plans to host annual benefit concerts at the Moody Center, raising awareness of social issues and generating funds for local nonprofits for years to come.
