How to Help Those Impacted by the L.A. Wildfires (Updating) Grammy Viewers Donated Nearly $10 Million to L.A. Wildfire Relief Efforts: Here’s Where It Went Chappell Roan’s Iconic ‘Hot to Go!’ Unitard Sells for $89K in L.A. Wildfire Relief Auction As announced Monday (Oct. 27), the band is teaming up with a number of famous friends for A Concert for Altadena, which will take place at the Pasadena Civic Center on the one-year mark of the disaster. Brandon Flowers of The Killers and Brad Paisley are also on the bill, as are Eric Krasno, Aloe Blacc, Jackson Browne, Judith Hill, Jenny Lewis, Mandy Moore, Stephen Stills, Everclear and Ozomatu. Proceeds from the show will benefit the Altadena Builds Back Foundation, which works to recover and rebuild homes destroyed in the fires. “January 7th marks a year to the day that our sweet town got ravaged by the Eaton Fire,” Dawes wrote on Instagram when sharing the news. “It’s gonna be a heavy night, but it’s going to be a beautiful one too.” Bandmates/brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith have previously been open about how the wildfires impacted them personally. A few days after the blazes broke out — and weeks before the L.A. fire department would fully be able to contain them — the latter shared on Instagram that his family had “lost everything,” including their entire house, in the catastrophe. Taylor was also hit hard, with the fires burning down his home studio and much of Dawes’ recording equipment. At the February Grammys, the band honored the city by opening the ceremony with a performance of “I Love L.A.,” joined by Paisley, John Legend, Sheryl Crowe, Brittany Howard and St. Vincent.
