Legendary country music star Wynonna Judd will headline the 2027 Legends Concert Series, UNT Health Fort Worth’s signature fundraising event benefiting student scholarships. Four-time Grammy®-nominated country artist Mickey Guyton will join Judd for the event.

Since the inaugural Legends event in 2013, more than $3 million has been raised in support of the UNT Health's mission of creating solutions for a healthier community.

The benefit concert’s event chairs are Rosa Navejar and Charles Reid, with UNT Health President Kirk Calhoun and his wife, Jeanette, serving as honorary chairs. Navejar worked in banking and is president of The Rios Group. She is an officer on UNT Health’s Foundation Board of Directors. Reid is a retired Fort Worth-based real estate agent and attorney.

“Having country music icon Wynonna Judd as the headliner of this year’s Legends Concert is very exciting for Fort Worth and UNT Health,” Navejar said. “This concert is a great opportunity for our community to come together and support our students as they chase their dreams. I hope everyone will join us for an unforgettable night at Bass Hall.”

Wynonna Judd (born Christina Claire Ciminella on May 30, 1964 in Ashland, Kentucky) is one of the most celebrated and award‑winning female country artists in American music history. She rose to fame in the 1980s as the lead vocalist and guitarist of The Judds alongside her mother, Naomi Judd, a mother‑daughter duo that became one of the most successful acts in country music, with 14 No. 1 singles and five Grammy Awards.

After The Judds disbanded in 1991, Wynonna launched a highly successful solo career, releasing eight studio albums, a live album, a holiday album, and two compilations, with over 20 singles and 19 No. 1 hits in total. Her early solo hits included She Is His Only Need, I Saw the Light, No One Else on Earth, and To Be Loved by You. She has been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2022 as a member of The Judds.

Known for her husky, expressive voice and ability to blend traditional country, blues, and gospel influences, Wynonna’s performances are celebrated for their emotional depth and authenticity. Her concerts often feature a mix of classic Judds hits, solo successes, and personal, contemporary songs, making them both a celebration of her career and a connection to her roots.

Past Legends’ headliners have included Styx, Three Dog Night, Little River Band, Christopher Cross, Air Supply, ZZ Top, Trisha Yearwood, Dwight Yoakam, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Chicago, Vince Gill, Jay Leno and Clint Black.
