@honkytonktown: Ben Haggard and The Strangers lit up day one of Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival on September 26 at the Moody Center in Austin. Standing beside him on background vocals was his mother, Theresa Haggard, turning the set into a true family affair. Merle's son, Merle's band, and Merle's legacy, all together under one roof. Austin, you witnessed something special. 🎻 #honkytonktown #countrymusic #benhaggard #TheStrangers #CrossroadsGuitarFestival
