The Oak Ridge Boys and Tanya Tucker headline Dallas police support gig

Country stars Tanya Tucker and The Oak Ridge Boys are teaming up to help raise funds for the families of the five police officers recently killed in Dallas, Texas.
T.G. Sheppard, The Bellamy Brothers, John Conlee, Mark Wills, and Ronnie McDowell have also signed on to perform at the Stars Behind The Stars event, which will take place at Billy Bob’s Texas bar in Fort Worth on 27 July (16).
Organisers have also announced music icon Randy Travis will make a special appearance to show his support for the cause.
All proceeds from the gig will be donated to the Dallas Police Association’s Assist the Officer Foundation, which provides urgent financial assistance to relatives of slain cops.
The concert was put together in light of the Dallas tragedy earlier this month (Jul16), when five police officials were shot and killed by a sniper while monitoring a Black Lives Matter rally.
The protest was one of a number of demonstrations held across the U.S. calling for justice following the deaths of African-Americans Philando Castile and Alton Sterling at the hands of cops in two separate shooting incidents in early July (16).
