Sponsorship

Songs on the Frio is a four-day music event in Leakey, Texas, featuring Texas and Nashville Hall of Fame, Grammy-nominated and award-winning country music songwriters.

Our 5th anniversary is especially meaningful as we welcome back 23 songwriters from years past for 11 free daytime community shows throughout the weekend and 2 ticketed fundraising nights on Friday and Saturday at Rio Bella.

We are thrilled to bring together the talent behind hundreds of hit songs for an unforgettable weekend of music, community, and lasting impact!

Testimonials

I am thrilled to reflect on what a wonderful experience Songs on the Frio was for our students. This special event brought us together in such a meaningful way, especially for our students who had the opportunity to shine. The talent show was a true highlight, providing a stage for our incredibly talented students to showcase their skills and creativity. It was heartwarming to witness their hard work pay off as they confidently performed in front of family, friends, and neighbors. The pride in their faces and the applause from the crowd made it a memorable moment for everyone involved.
— Katie Loughner | Principal, Leakey ISD
The H. E. Butt Foundation has been excited to be a sponsor of Songs on the Frio. As one of the larger employers in Real County, it’s important that our employees have access to the resources they need. Songs on the Frio has been successful because it offers a top-notch multi-day music performance experience that the entire community can access and uses the proceeds to improve essential services, like EMS, for the region.
