The Delaware North-sponsored live-music program at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Dec. 6 will log performance No. 10,000.
In celebration of the milestone, Delaware North will present Health Alliance of Austin Musicians (HAAM) with a $10,000 donation, and Grammy winner Ray Benson will perform along with an Austin all-star lineup that includes Carolyn Wonderland, Redd Volkaert and Shelley King. The fun begins at noon, with the event held at the Asleep at the Wheel Stage at Ray Benson’s Roadhouse, located near Gate 10.
“Music is in the soul of Austin, including its airport. It’s been here from the beginning. Now we celebrate 10,000 live music performances,” said Terry Mahlum, a regional vice president of Delaware North’s travel business. “It’s a milestone worthy of a big show with Ray Benson and Austin all-star musicians, plus a $10,000 donation to HAAM. We are so proud to be a part of this.”
A distinguishing airport amenity, live music has been featured at Austin’s airport since it opened in 1999. In recognition of the airport’s music program and Delaware North’s support of HAAM, a proclamation is being issued from Austin Mayor Steve Adler.
