Watch Old Dominion Perform Emotional Tribute to Troy Gentry and Don Williams

Old Dominion paid homage to both Troy Gentry and Don Williams at their show on Friday night.

The group took the stage to perform a show in Sandwich, Ill. just hours after word spread of Troy Gentry's and Don Williams' deaths. Fittingly, the band decided to play a set of songs in their honor.

In a post to their Instagram account, Old Dominion posted a video clip of them playing Montgomery Gentry's "My Town" stating, "Got a little choked up when the crowd started singing, but still."

"My Town" came out in 2002 and went to No. 5 on the country charts. Later on in the night, they played "Tulsa Time," one of Don Williams' trademark hits.

"Don Williams got us through a lot of bar shows," Old Dominion said in an Instagram post. "Had to dust this one off too last night."

The song was made famous by Don Williams, reaching No. 1 in 1978, but it was also covered by Eric Clapton and Reba McEntire.

Gentry was killed in a helicopter crash on Friday, just weeks short of his 54th birthday. He had been en route to a performance in New Jersey.
