The wildfires in Far West Texas continue and have consumed over 275,000 acres, destroyed dozens of homes, killed livestock and wildlife, and jeopardized the livelihoods of countless ranchers and residents. This past week, Hotel San Jose held the incredible West Texas Wildfire Relief Benefit with live music performances by Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Amy Cook and Erika Wennerstrom of Heartless Bastards.
