Why: 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 musicians, sports stars past and present, and celebrities of local and national acclaim.  After the game, the audience will be invited onto the field to enjoy a concert unique in scope and setting, with a centerfield stage anchored by both Reckless Kelly and their friends Cross Canadian Ragweed, along with a parade of artists building toward a blowout superjam.
   
With sponsor contributions covering production costs, proceeds from tickets sales will be shared between three community-oriented causes:  the Miracle League at Town & Country and their belief that "Every Child Deserves a Chance to Play Baseball", Miracle League of San Antonio, and Little League of Austin and its teams, fields and facilities in need of support.

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."

RECKLESS KELLY FEATURED TWICE
ON LATEST ‘BEST IN TEXAS’ COMPILATION CD
Austin, TX — Two tracks from the latest album by Austin-based roots-rock band Reckless Kelly, BULLETPROOF (Yep Roc, June 2008), are featured on Volume 6 of the annually produced compilation of Texas and Red Dirt music, available free at music festival, parties and special promotional events.
Reckless Kelly’s “Love in Her Eyes,” which debuted in the Top 20 of The Texas Music Chart, and “A Guy Like Me” are the first and 14th selections of 19 songs on BUD LIGHT PRESENTS THE BEST IN TEXAS, Vol. 6: Texas’ favorites songs on a free CD co-sponsored by the state’s favorite beer.
“The music scene is an important part of the personality of Texas,” says Kevin Cargile, geographic marketing manager at Anheuser-Busch, maker of Bud Light and Texas-only ZiegenBock. “The music reflects the heritage, pride and spirit that Texans embrace. We’re proud to have an association with many of the most popular Texas artists, and we support their efforts to make that music connection with fans all across the state.”
Cody Braun of Reckless Kelly agrees. “To be part of what is considered the best of Texas, where we feel so at home with our families and friends and fans, is a big honor.”
Like many of the 16 other artists on the album, Reckless Kelly — whose new Yep Roc release, SOMEWHERE IN TIME, drops in February 2010 — appears regularly on the weekly Texas Music Chart and in Best In Texas® Music Magazine, a co-sponsor with Bud Light of the free CD.   
Fans can get BEST IN TEXAS at Bud Light and ZiegenBock music festivals, parties and special promotions or as a free download via coupons from Anheuser-Busch distributors across Texas.
