The Eric Nadel Birthday Benefit concert is moving to the Longhorn Ballroom on May 29, as part of the historic venue’s 75th anniversary celebration. Eric Nadel, Texas Rangers Hall of Fame broadcaster and mental health advocate, hosts the annual birthday benefit. It includes a live and silent auction followed by double headliners, The Secret Sisters and Shinyribs.
The event is presented by Haynes Boone and the media sponsor is KXT 91.7. The benefit supports the work of Grant Halliburton Foundation, a Dallas nonprofit that provides mental health education, resources, and support to children, teens, and their families.
Eric Nadel Birthday Benefit
Nadel said, “I’m excited to host this year’s birthday benefit at the Longhorn Ballroom as part of their 75th anniversary – what an honor! We’re showcasing two artists who present the most entertaining live shows I’ve ever seen. Secret Sisters’ humor and harmonies are totally endearing, and nobody puts on the type of dynamic, charismatic live show that Kevin Russell and Shinyribs present. It should be an epic night for the audience and for Grant Halliburton Foundation.”
Shinyribs, based in Austin, defies genres as a sonic melting pot of Texas Blues, New Orleans R&B funk, horn-driven Memphis soul, country twang, border music, big band swing, and roots rock. Led by the charismatic Kevin Russell, their live shows are legendary.
The Alabama-bred Secret Sisters are known for their spellbinding harmonies and hilarious concert banter and for their collaborations with Ray LaMontagne and Brandi Carlile.
