The initiative leverages Area4Labs' existing venue and event database to identify and promote over 100 benefit shows nationwide, ranging from intimate venues to large stadiums. These events have collectively raised millions of dollars for hurricane relief efforts and essential supplies for affected communities.

Key aspects of the initiative include:

  • Comprehensive mapping of benefit concerts
  • Real-time event tracking and updates
  • Coverage of venues of all sizes
  • Focus on Appalachian music scene recovery

Notable contributions from artists include:

  • Morgan Wallen: $500,000 donation to Red Cross
  • Dolly Parton: $1 million to recovery efforts
  • Luke Combs and Eric Church: Led 'Concert for Carolina' raising $24.5 million

The Area4Labs team, comprised of musicians and music enthusiasts, plans to expand Hearby Cares to respond quickly to future social and cultural movements, making it easier for communities to find and support relief efforts through music.
