Green, who grew up in Waco, Texas, reflected on the widespread impact. "I don't know anything that stands behind Texas better than Texas," he stated.
"I lost my brother, my sister-in-law, John and Julia, and their two boys," Green said in an interview with FOX 4. Thankfully, our niece has survived. And now it's time we think about how we can rebuild the life around her."
"And then I thought about how many thousands of people across the great state have been directly affected by this and how many of their families have to do the same thing," he added. "I just want to give so much love to my parents who lost their children and their grandchildren."
Green had previously canceled a concert scheduled for July 5, instead sending prayers to those affected. Now, he is hosting this benefit concert to help as many flood victims as possible.
"For whatever reason, I was given this thing with my voice where I can, I can not only raise awareness but try to change people's minds. And so, I'm trying to turn the sorrow into some bright light, and hopefully, bring some resolution for these families that have been decimated," he said.
