On October 9, 2011, Texas Music for Life presented a songwriters showcase, "Tunes for Tupin". The concert was a tribute to Amarillo businessman, musician, and community activist, Randy Tupin, who is currently recovering from treatment for throat cancer. We are happy to report that he is cancer free and doing very well. Never, in the history of live music in Amarillo, Texas, has there been an assemblage of songwriting talent and musicianship such as that displayed at "Tunes for Tupin". What were once factions became one cohesive musical community, unified by our love of Randy Tupin. The surroundings, the presentation, and the "family" atmosphere culminated in a remarkable evening that will forever be cherished. Listeners will be treated to a wide variety of music, and will be transported to the magic of the evening through the incredible live performances. Texas Music for Life is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide financial assistance to Texas musicians of all genres of music who are facing hardships due to a serious illness, disability, or age related issue.
