A "round up" of Troubadours will shine at the Bosque Arts Center's Big Event fundraiser on April 11.

The Three Troubadours will add to the excitement of our Big Event fundraiser on April 11. Phillip Wildman, Brian Barrett, and Kenney Davenport will round out an evening of fun in our “Let Freedom Ring” gala.

Get your tickets soon. Hospitality begins at 5:30, with silent auction and drawings. Then dinner will be followed by the presentation of the Spieler Lifetime Achievement Award, a live auction, and these three entertainers—all winners in our Texas Troubadour Songwriter Classic at the BAC (Wildman - People's Choice '16 & '18; Barrett swept awards in ’17; Davenport - Tx Troubadour '25).

Tickets are $175, $250, & $500 for this annual fundraiser for our 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to promoting the arts in Central Texas.
