Love to see it.
It’s safe to say that 2025 was a pretty huge year for Parker McCollum. In addition to performing at President Donald Trump’s inaugural ball in January and co-hosting Better Together Texas and raising over $8.5 million for flood relief with Miranda Lambert in August, the Texas native dropped what he called his most personal record to date, his self-titled, fifth studio album, back on June 27th.
Ultimately, the self-titled release felt like a return to form for McCollum. Though it didn’t quite have the feel of the highly lauded Limestone Kid that many were expecting, it was a record filled with a plethora of quality tracks. From the sprawling murder ballad, “My Blue,” and the Cody Johnson collaboration, “Good Time Charlie’s Got The Blues,” to high-energy tracks like his #1 hit, “What Kinda Man,” and “Big Sky,” he delivered a rock-solid effort.
2026 has been another great year for the “Limestone Kid.” Back in May, he scored his first Album of the Year win at the 61st annual ACM Awards, beating out the likes of Zach Top’s Grammy-winning Ain’t In It For My Health, Morgan Wallen’s record-breaking I’m The Problem and more. Couple that with a massive headline tour that sold out amphitheaters and arenas across the country, the release of his long-awaited acoustic album, Live From Sound City and more, McCollum has been on quite a tear.
With the year slowly coming to a close, the “Handle On You” singer is set to deliver one of his most meaningful performances throughout the jam-packed year.
Announced this morning, McCollum is teaming up with Under Armour and Amazon Music to deliver a special performance benefitting veterans, streaming exclusively on Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch on Tuesday, November 10th at 8:00 p.m. CT.
Taking place on Veterans’ Day, the Texas native will be performing live from one of Austin’s most iconic music venues, Austin City Limits (ACL) Live at The Moody Theater.
McCollum, who has a long history of supporting active military and veterans through the likes of Folds of Honor, his Under Armour partnership and their UA Freedom initiatives dedicated to supporting military members, first responders, and their families and more, would explain that performing for military members is one of the “greatest honors” he gets to do as an artist.
“Playing for the men and women who have served this country is one of the greatest honors I get as an artist. So bringing this Veterans Day concert to life with Under Armour, which does so much for veterans and first responders, and getting to do it back home in Texas, is incredibly special. I’m very proud to represent UA Freedom and be a part of giving back to the people who have given so much for all of us.”
Through Under Armour’s UA Freedom initiative, McCollum is supporting a plethora of organizations supporting veterans, active duty members and their families, including the likes of Travis Manion Foundation, Team Rubicon, The Warrior Games and Shepherd’s Men.
Amazon Music Presents: Parker McCollum Honoring Veterans Day, Live from Texas will air live from the Moody Theater on Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch on Tuesday, November 10th at 8:00 p.m. CT.
