2011 Crockettsville Charity Concert & Trail Ride Raises Over $80,000

Chad Warrix and David Tolliver, formerly of the country duo Halfway to Hazard along with Concerts 4 A Cause brought a revived demeanor to the small town of Crockettsville, KY this weekend after hosting the 2011 Crockettsville Charity Concert and Trail Ride to benefit children of adoption and foster care at Buckhorn Children and Family Services.

Along with artists Randy Houser, Keith Anderson, Christian Kane, Danielle Peck, Gabe Garcia, Craig Wayne Boyd, Larry Cordle and Lisa Torres they were able to raise over $80,000 — all of which goes straight to the kids.

The buzz of the event combined with the weekend’s pristine weather forecast recruited over 10,000 people to attend the concert on Saturday, August 27 at Abner Farm in Crockettsville, KY — nestled between Buckhorn and Jackson, KY where Chad Warrix grew up.

One of the event’s sponsors, Monster Energy Drinks, added a thrill of nail-biting excitement with a stunt show from all-star FreestyleMX riders and prepared event-goers for the next day’s 42-mile ATV trail ride through the dust and mud, which drew in over 500 celebrities and patrons this year.

“We couldn’t be happier with this year’s outcome,” said Chad Warrix. “The energy from all of the performers and audience was overwhelming and knowing that all of it was made possible by the volunteers from the local community who care so much about giving makes it that much more fulfilling.”

At the start of the trail ride on Sunday, August 28, the 500 participants formed a line and paraded past the Buckhorn Children & Family Services facility where hundreds of children and employees cheered on the riders with smiles and signs of appreciation.

“Being able to put a face on the cause reminds us why we’re all out here doing this,” said Warrix. “The smiles on those kids’ faces keep us all coming back year after year, and for as long as we have friends and fellow artists willing to participate, we’ll continue to do so for years to come.”

Performers and schedule for the 2012 Crockettsville Charity Concert & Trail Ride are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.  For more information on the event, visit www.crockettsville.com.

Songwriter’s Night Raises over $25,000 for Nashville Academy

 

Chad Warrix called upon some friends for a Songwriter’s Night on February 6th benefiting Franklin Road Academy. The event was held at Puckett’s Grocery and Restaurant in Franklin, TN and featured performances by artists/songwriters such as Chuck Cannon, Danielle Peck, Randy Houser, James Slater, alongside host Chad Warrix. The benefit raised over $25,000 for the Academy.

Chad was the organizer and host for the evening and said, “It’s really cool to put together a night like this for charity. All our friends are simply amazing and when it comes to a kid’s education, we never hesitate to help each other out. In fact, that night I got lost in the moment and found myself feeling like a part of the audience, just sitting back and enjoying their talents.”

Chad recently revealed Halfway to Hazard duo partner, David Tolliver, and he are taking a break from touring in order to pursue separate interests. Chad will make an announcement regarding his future efforts in coming weeks. In the meantime, he is joining Randy Houser on the road as lead guitarist for a series of dates.

Halfway to Hazard Take an Indefinite Break

Halfway to Hazard

CMTT are big fans of the duo Halfway to Hazard.  We think these guys are super talented, and have worked extremely hard.  However, it seems the hard work as taken it’s toll on the duo.  David Tolliver recently decided to take a break from the group to concentrate on his life outside the music, and posted this to their facebook page.

To the wonderful and loyal H2H fans,

I want to first thank you guys for all your support and love over these past few years, you guys are awesome!!! It has been a wild ride so far and we have made so many great friends and memories but at this time in my life I have to take a step back and deal with some personal and family issues that I have neglected to address until now. I am gonna take a break from Halfway to Hazard and put my energy into making myself a better man, father and husband! I will miss you guys but it will only be for a short time, after that we’ll see how this life is gonna go! God bless you all, I love each and everyone of you like family!!!

Thanks for everything,

David

All of H2H’s hardcore fans took to the Internet via facebook and twitter to express their devastation over the turn of events. It’s obvious they understood how hard the music business can be and the toll it can take on one’s family. Chard Warrix expressed his disbelieve in the outpouring of love and support.

David is taking off from H2H and music for some personal reasons over the next few months. Thank you for your continued support. Halfway to Hazard is very special me and to David as well. Our fans have kept us going over the last few years with amazing support of each and all of our endeavors. We are both so humbled by that. I can’t honestly say what the future holds for H2H but I know that God and family are always first, then comes career. So in a few months from now, David and I will evaluate the current situation and decide the fate of Halfway to Hazard altogether. I can only speak for myself when I say that I WILL continue to write songs, sing, play guitar, produce records and live music everyday for the rest of my life in some form or fashion. I am also thankful for all those whom have attended our concerts and bought our albums, because H2H will always live within those memories and with those recorded songs floating around this beautiful planet playing in your cars, clubs, gyms, offices, iPods, homes, etc. I also would like to say that the Annual H2H Charity Concert/Trailride will live on regardless!

Thanks again,
Chad
(H2H)

Again, we want to wish Chad and David all the best in their personal and professional endeavors. These guys have been a personal favorite of mine for many years. Chad is currently keeping his options open and will be sharing the music he creates while H2H is on break on www.ChadWarrix.com . CMTT will keep you up to date on the status of H2H and the guys future endeavors.

Check out our interview with H2H last year at CMA Fest here.
