Grammy nominated country band, Little Texas, will be performing a free concert at Bennett Days. 

This is the 12th annual Bennett Days Celebration and has always been a free event to the community. Little Texas will be performing following the bull riding championship finals .

As part of the Young Country movement of the early ‘90s, Little Texas were responsible for shaking up the country music world with a new, energetic sound that fused the look and attitude of modern rock music with traditional country themes and styles, bringing a much appreciated bolt of life into the genre. For their efforts, country fans the world over richly rewarded the band, buying up over 7 million of their albums, while critics showered them with 3 Grammy nominations plus honors from both the Academy of Country Music (Vocal Group of The Year) and the Country Music Association (Album Of The Year). 

The Little Texas Concert is generously sponsored by the Town of Bennett Board of Trustees. The concert will take place at a new location at Kiowa Creek located off of Old Victory Road. 

Bennett Days events will take place on Friday, September 9 and Saturday, September 10, 2022 and include family fun zone, parade, beer garden, giveaways, performances and vendor street fair.
