Killer Lineup for Tanner Usrey’s 2026 Memorial Benefit

If you love the nexus between country and rock, then you better try to get your ass to Midlothian, TX just south of Dallas on Sunday, May 24th as Tanner Usrey is hosting a ridiculous amount of country and Southern rock talent all in one place, and all for a good cause. Called “Tanner Usrey’s Down Range Memorial Benefit,” it might be the best opportunity to see all these national impacting bands that are blowing up together.
Happening at the Union 28 Tap House, Tanner Usrey and The Droptines from Texas, Them Dirty Roses and Taylor Hunnicutt from Alabama, Oklahoma’s Lance Roark, along with Kirk House and Canaan Bryce are all set to perform. This thing’s like it’s own kick ass Southern rock festival, and would be worth the effort to get to even if it’s not in your neighborhood. It’s also a good way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend.
Even better, the event is supporting Merging Vets and Players (MVP), a nonprofit dedicated to helping combat veterans and former professional athletes find purpose, community, and strength through fitness and peer support. “Every ticket, every song, and every moment contributes to a cause that changes lives—making this not just a show you attend, but one you’re proud to be part of,” the event says.
Show starts at 12:30 and will go all day at the Union 28 Tap House, which is a cool newer event space that opened in 2022, and has been hosing big Texas country and rock concerts since. Tickets are available at StubWire.com.

Very few comments on this article giving positive press to Tanner.

Well, on a positive note, from the headline I thought he’d passed and it was a memorial for him.
Luckily, I read the article.

Yeah, the name for the event is “Tanner Usrey’s Down Range Memorial Benefit,” and so I simply adopted that in the title. I certainly wasn’t meaning to imply that he died or trying to make click bait. I think Tanner’s actually changed the name now to “Memorial Day Benefit,” though officially it’s on Sunday, not Monday, which is Memorial Day. But hopefully that clears up some of the confusion.
