George Strait made an interesting announcement on Twitter today: Apparently, he is working on relief efforts with the country music community at large.
He didn’t elaborate on what exactly those efforts entailed, but we might smell a benefit concert brewing.

Strait is one of many country stars who was deeply affected by the storm. Native Texan Miranda Lambert sent her pet-focused charity, the Mutt Nation Foundation, down to Houston to relieve local shelters.
Chris Young, who is originally from Tennessee but has lived in Texas and owns a home on the coast, offered $100,000 of his own money to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Harvey victims.
Other notable contributions have come from Luke Combs, Josh Abbott and Lady Antebellum.
