Dawes Hosts Star-Studded Benefit Concert for L.A. Wildfire Recovery
Los Angeles, CA — Folk-rock band Dawes has organized “Rise from the Ashes: A Benefit for L.A. Fire Relief,” a star-powered concert marking the anniversary of Southern California’s devastating wildfires. Slated for November 18 at the Hollywood Bowl, the event will feature performances by Brad Paisley, Brandon Flowers (The Killers), and special guests, with proceeds aiding ongoing recovery efforts.

“Music brings people together in healing,” said Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith. “We’re honored to have artists like Brad and Brandon amplify this cause.”
Brad Paisley shared, “California’s given me so much—this is how I give back.” Brandon Flowers added, “Disasters don’t discriminate. Supporting recovery is everyone’s duty.”
