Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX - March 20, 2026 - Cumulus Media's New Country 96.3 (KSCS-FM) and 99.5 The Wolf (KPLX-FM) presented the Fifth Annual Texas Independence Jam guitar pull on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at the historic Billy Bob's Texas in Fort Worth. Dallas/Fort Worth Country music fans enjoyed live music performances by a star-studded lineup including Megan Moroney, Parker McCollum, Hudson Westbrook, Corey Kent, Gary LeVox, Turnpike Troubadours, Justin Moore, Dylan Scott, Tucker Wetmore, and Ashley Cooke, who entertained the sold-out crowd over three sets with high energy performances. Corey Kent filled in for the previously announced Pat Green, due to a vocal injury, but Green will be on the slate for the stations' Texas Independence Jam 2027.

Highlights of the show included Corey Kent stepping in at the last minute to fill in for Pat Green during the final set; listeners filling out of the Rodeo Arena at Billy Bob's Texas for a first glimpse of the artists during the stations' live broadcast radio interviews; Landon Nolty, a former Cook Children's Patient singing the National Anthem before the show for the fifth year in a row; and the ultimate highlight: Legacy Chevrolet GMC donating an additional $50,000 to Cook Children's.

New Country 96.3 and 99.5 The Wolf's Texas Independence Jam was proudly presented by EECU and sponsored by Kroger, Devil's Grin Texas Gin, CC Carpet, Miller Lite, Legacy Chevrolet, Fiji Airways, Applebee's, Phil Dill Boats, Melinda's Hot Sauce, Davis Glass Service, Funny Hat Farm Co., Rujo Boots, Jim Adler & Associates, Cavender's, Rex's Bar & Grill, and Dallas Renegades, all benefiting Cook Children's.

"Our Texas Independence Jam '26 was one for the books. We had more Texas stars than ever, and you could feel the energy of a sold-out Billy Bob's Texas everywhere you turned. And to raise over $350,000 in donations to Cook Children's Medical Center during the show was unbelievable!", said Mike Preston, Program Director for New Country 96.3 and 99.5 The Wolf.
