In a moment filled with grace, empathy, and deep-rooted Southern sincerity, Wil and Langdon Reid—known together as Wilson Fairchild, and sons of the Statler Brothers legacy—released a touching video message from their hometown of Staunton, Virginia, sending love and solidarity to the people of Texas.
Standing side by side in their familiar, humble way, the duo spoke with steady voices and heavy hearts.
“Our hearts are with Texas,” Wil said quietly.
“With every family, every community, every soul hurting right now,” Langdon added.
They didn’t speak like artists promoting a song or public figures reading from a script. They spoke like brothers. Like fathers. Like neighbors. Like men who understand that sometimes the best thing you can do is simply show up with compassion.
They reflected on their many years of traveling through Texas—performing in small towns, meeting fans after shows, and building bonds with families who now find themselves in crisis.
“We’ve shared songs, laughter, and memories with folks all across Texas,” Langdon said. “And now we share your grief. We see you. We’re praying for you.”
As the floodwaters continue to displace thousands and rescue efforts stretch thin, messages like this have become a quiet but powerful reminder: no one walks through tragedy alone.
The Statler Brothers built their legacy on faith, family, and storytelling—and Wilson Fairchild is carrying that legacy forward, not just through music, but through moments like this—moments of unity, kindness, and heartfelt care.
They closed their message with a scripture reading and a simple prayer for healing and strength.
“We may be far in miles,” Wil said, “but we’re right there with you in spirit. Hold on, Texas. You’ve got a nation behind you—and a brotherhood that believes in you.”
