Randy Rogers Band sent fan-favorite “I Won’t Give Up” to Texas Country Radio on Monday (1/22). The Lone Star State staple group has coined countless No. 1s with their last radio single "Fast Car" also topping the airplay chart.

The Foster produced album served as a love letter to the Texas band's past planted firmly in their present.

“I began writing ‘I Won’t Give Up’ during the time off from Covid. It’s a song for my family and my extended road family. 2020 definitely made things hard for a host of reasons, so I wanted to write a very simple song. Fast forward to now, I see people dancing along at shows, I see people kissing out there in the crowd. It’s the kind of song that could become an anthem for people, whether they’re running a marathon or trying to work out something in their relationship,” Rogers shares.

As 2024 kicks off, so does a slew of anniversaries, including RRB’s sophomore albumROLLERCOASTER turning 20.

Randy Rogers Presents Donation to New Braunfels Nonprofit Connections

$150,000 gifted to charity focused on empowering families and youth

Texas music mainstays Randy Rogers Band donated back into their community Tuesday (12/12) morning, gifting $150,000 to New Braunfels nonprofit organization Connections Individual and Family Services. The organization is dedicated to empowering youth, connecting families, and building futures one youth and one family at a time. Learn more here.

The proceeds were raised at the 14th annual RRB Golf Jam in late October at River Crossing Golf Club in Spring Branch, TX, through a charity concert and a silent/live auction. Randy Rogers Band started the RRB Golf Jam in 2009, aiming to use their platform for the greater good. The group donates the proceeds every year to a different charity in need and have given over $300,000 back to the community in the last two years.

In an interview with the New Braunfels’ local newspaper Herald-Zeitung on Tuesday (12/12) morning, Rogers shared this year’s donation to Connections felt like the right timing, as it recently broke ground on a new facility.

Rogers told the paper, “It’s [Connections] a great cause, and the new facility is going to be absolutely gorgeous and needed for a long time in our community,” Rogers said. “It’s been fun to watch their vision and see their plans … I’m happy to be a part of it.”

While the inaugural event was held in 2009, the annual RRB Golf Jam has more than tripled in size since 2018. The Randy Rogers Family Foundation was founded in 2019 to serve as a collection center, gathering donations from the RRB’s charitable endeavors and supporting community needs.

Randy Rogers Band have a couple Texas stops left in 2023, with fresh dates already announced for the top of 2024. For a full list of tour dates and details on the band’s remaining 2023 shows, click here.

The Tennessean

Randy Rogers discusses career sustainability, Texas’ resurgence in country’s mainstream

Randy Rogers stares at the Ryman Auditorium crowd before stepping out to headline the venue.

"I don't dance around. They do," he says, laughing out loud while speaking with The Tennessean on a Friday evening. He then wipes his brow before donning a white cowboy hat. Rogers broadly waves his hand at the two levels at the sold-out venue.

Two smiling couples sip perhaps their second tall boy can of beer while hazily gazing at the stage. Then, after being implored to do so in 20 minutes by Rogers while one of his band members plays a fiddle solo, the taller man (who is also wearing a white hat, his a Resistol) will twirl his shorter female partner — they'll then embrace and start to boogie, as asked…
