Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas – March 18, 2025 – Cumulus Media's New Country 96.3 (KSCS-FM) and 99.5 The Wolf (KPLX-FM) raised $300,000 for Cook Children's Medical Center through the 4th Annual Texas Independence Jam guitar pull on Sunday, March 11, 2025, at the historic Billy Bob's Texas in Fort Worth. Dallas-Fort Worth Country music fans enjoyed live music from a star-studded lineup, in sets of three artists at a time, featuring Kane Brown, Bailey Zimmerman, Darius Rucker, Koe Wetzel, Zach Top, Lee Brice, Neal McCoy, Warren Zeiders, and George Birge, and the first ever Texas Independence Jam, The After Party with Randall King and Dylan Marlowe.

Tickets to New Country 96.3 and 99.5 The Wolf's Texas Independence Jam went on sale on Friday, January 17th, and sold out within the hour, with proceeds from the ticket sales benefiting Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth. After the sellout, the only way to secure tickets was to win them through either station, via on-air contests, online, and on-site at ticket events.

Highlights of the show included Randall King and Dylan Marlowe stepping in at the last minute to fill in for Dylan Scott during the first set; listeners singing Zach Top's "I Never Lie" as he walked into the interview room; Kane Brown, along with Bailey Zimmerman, Darius Rucker and Koe Wetzel, extending the show by additional round of songs because of the crowd's enthusiasm; and finally, Legacy Chevrolet GMC donating an additional $50,000 to Cook Children's.

New Country 96.3 and 99.5 The Wolf's Texas Independence Jam was proudly sponsored by Kroger, Texas Honey Whiskey, CC Carpet, Miller Lite, Legacy Chevrolet, Applebee's, Portillo's, Visit Big Bend, Mountain Mike's Pizza, Davis Glass Service, Omi Fort Worth, Phil Dil Boats, Gomez Western Wear, Twin Peaks, and all benefiting Cook Children's.
