TEXAS COUNTRY ARTIST JOSH ABBOTT VISITS KIDS AND STAFF AT COOK CHILDREN’S

Texas Country artist Josh Abbott knows a thing or two about music, and he took his expertise to Cook Children’s in Fort Worth on January 6 to share his joy with kids, nurses, doctors, and staff.

“I loved visiting Cook Children’s to meet the kids and the team caring for these incredible human beings,” said Abbott. “It was great to sing, laugh, and learn about the Life Zones where the kids can forget about why they are in the hospital for a moment. It also was fun to be interviewed for Cook Children’s internal television station, CLZ TV.”

While at the children’s hospital, Abbott talked about his partnership with the Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council. In June 2022, Abbott was chosen to create a fresh new sound for DQ® restaurants in Texas with one of the most recognizable jingles in the Lone Star State, “That’s What I like About Texas.”  

Abbott sang the iconic jingle as well as several of his songs for the kids and team. He talked about his music journey, the band and his family, which includes his wife Taylor, daughter Emery and son Luck.

“I love what I do, and I get to entertain people because I have a very supportive family,” said Abbott. “This visit was a wonderful opportunity to share music which can be therapeutic and healing.”

Before his departure, Abbott handed out DQ DILLY® Bars for the kids and staff.

“Nobody loves ice cream more than kids. So, the partnership between Cook Children’s and Dairy Queen is a perfect match,” said Grant Harris, Senior Vice President at Cook Children’s. “Add Josh Abbott and his music, and that makes it even sweeter. Our patient families really enjoyed connecting with him and we are thankful to Dairy Queen for making that happen.”

Cook Children’s is a member of American Dairy Queen Corporation’s longtime charitable partner, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals). ADQ has partnered with CMN Hospitals for 39 years and donates millions of dollars to support kids and families across the U.S. through a variety of programs at DQ restaurants, including Miracle Treat Day and Round Up for Kids. 

The Josh Abbott Band played at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth on January 6 & 7. 

About Josh Abbott

Josh Abbott founded the Josh Abbott Band in 2006 while attending Texas Tech University. The seven-piece group cut its teeth as a hard-touring act with hooky melodies that deliver real-world stories. Led by the true-to-life cycles in Abbott’s life, JAB explored new territory with its last two albums – in Front Row and adding strings and a horn section to Until My Voice Goes Out. The extended play Catching Fire captures a sense of personal renewal. Visit joshabbottband.com for tour dates.
