With Reckless Kelly’s Celebrity Softball Jam, two of Central Texas’ finest entertainment forces - Reckless Kelly and the Round Rock Express - have teamed up to create a signature event that unites the pulse of Austin with our national pastime in support of three great community causes.
The softball game will feature several performing artists, including Reckless Kelly, and stars from the sports world, including former boxing champion Jesse James Leija. Following the softball game, the audience will be invited onto the field to enjoy a concert featuring Reckless Kelly and Cross Canadian Ragweed along with several other acts. Festivities will conclude with a fireworks display.
“We wanted to create an event in our hometown that combines our love of music and baseball all while giving back to the community in a positive way,” Reckless Kelly frontman Willy Braun said. “We’re thrilled how this has come together. We expect this to be a fun, family oriented event that can grow over the years and help out some great chartities in Austin and beyond.”
Last year’s event attracted more than 6,000 fans and raised more than $35,000. This year, proceeds will be shared between three community-oriented causes: the Miracle Leagues at both Town & Country and San Antonio and their belief that "Every Child Deserves a Chance to Play Baseball," and Little League of Austin and its teams, fields and facilities in need of support. Express Owner and C.E.O. Reid Ryan said he expects this year’s event to be an even bigger success.
“For many fans, the idea of watching a softball game and a concert together was a foreign idea,” Ryan said. “But once fans got to the event and saw how much fun there was to be had, it was a great experience. All season long, we heard so many comments from fans and people in the community about how much of a great time they had. We feel certain this year’s event will be even better and raise even more funds for the local charities.”
Reckless Kelly will be hot off the helm of their seventh studio album, SOMEWHERE IN TIME, which is slated for release February 9, 2010 and features the single "Best Forever Yet."
