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.
