"Exactly one year after the devastating Eaton fire broke out, the Los Angeles folk-rock band Dawes will present an all-star benefit concert on Wednesday night for victims of the blaze that killed 19 people and destroyed more than 9,000 structures in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains."
"With proceeds earmarked for the Altadena Builds Back Foundation, A Concert for Altadena will feature Dawes along with acts including Stephen Stills, Lord Huron, Aloe Blacc, Rufus Wainwright, Lucius, Jenny Lewis and Brandon Flowers of the Killers. Taylor's wife, the singer and actor Mandy Moore, is set to perform, while John C. Reilly will serve as host."
"This is for the other people. And the reason it feels good to be doing it is because a lot of people are in much more need than we are."
One year after the Eaton fire, Dawes is organizing A Concert for Altadena to raise funds for victims of the blaze that killed 19 people and destroyed more than 9,000 structures. Members of Dawes suffered personal losses: a drummer's home, a singer-guitarist's recording studio and the brothers' parents' Altadena house were destroyed. The benefit features an all-star lineup including Stephen Stills, Lord Huron, Aloe Blacc, Rufus Wainwright, Lucius, Jenny Lewis, Brandon Flowers and Mandy Moore, with John C. Reilly hosting. Proceeds are earmarked for the Altadena Builds Back Foundation, and organizers hope to raise at least $500,000.
