Arizona Country Artists Rally for Brandon Head

Live Music Fundraiser Supporting Brandon Head’s Fight Against Cancer Sunday, March 22 • The Stillery Chandler • 3PM – 9PM

Country music has always been about community. It’s about storytelling, friendship, and standing beside the people who have shared the stage, the road, and the journey.

On Sunday, March 22, 2026, the Arizona country music family will come together at The Stillery Chandler for a special night of music and support as artists from across the state rally around fellow musician Brandon Head during his battle with cancer.

The event, titled “Artists for Brandon,” will take place from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, bringing together a full afternoon and evening of live country music performed by some of Arizona’s most talented artists.

The fundraiser is being organized through AZDCMA Cares – Country Community Outreach and made possible thanks to the support of The Stillery Chandler and Cowboy Lifestyle Network, two organizations that have continually supported the Arizona country music scene.

More than just a concert, the night represents something deeper — a reminder that the Arizona country community stands together when one of its own needs help.
