Bowen breaks a record

Wednesday, May 9, 2012 – Wade Bowen raised a record-breaking $150,000 this weekend in hometown Waco, Texas for the Advocacy Center for Crime Victims and Children at his 14th Annual "Wade Bowen Classic" celebrity concert and golf tournament.

Sunday's all-star concert hosted more than 3,000 fans at Indian Springs Park where the music-packed day included 27 of Bowen's artist friends including surprise guest Stoney LaRue along with Jason Boland and the Stragglers, Casey James, Charlie Robison, Randy Rogers, Reckless Kelly, Eric Paslay, Dustin Lynch and Charlie Worsham. The concert was followed by a two-man golf scramble on Monday where 200 golfers, more than ever before, played alongside Bowen.

Bowen will release his BNA debut later this month.

He also makes a couple of widely unloved holiday songs ("Last ...
