Warren Haynes and Dave Matthews Band are throwing a benefit show for relief efforts from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. It happens on Sunday, November 24 at Madison Square Garden, the day after DMB’s two-night run at the venue. Also performing are Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and Goose, and special guests will include Trey Anastasio of Phish, Mavis Staples, Robert Randolph, Joe Russo, Trombone Shorty, and Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks of Tedeschi Trucks Band, with more to be announced.
Tickets go on sale Friday, November 1 at 10 AM ET, with various presales starting Tuesday, October 29 at 3 PM ET. Net proceeds will benefit the SOULSHINE Concert Fund at the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, which will benefit Habitat for Humanity’s 2024 Hurricane Recovery fund, and will also support local North Carolina and Florida non-profits.
“The damage and destruction caused by Hurricane Helene to my beloved home of Asheville and all of Western North Carolina has truly devastated me,” Warren Haynes says. “Every year, it is my honor to host the Christmas Jam and give back to the community there, but this year, we need to do things a bit differently. I’m thrilled to partner with my good friends in Dave Matthews Band and so many other musician friends to bring ‘SOULSHINE’ to the iconic Madison Square Garden and help raise money for all those affected by both hurricanes throughout North Carolina and Florida. My heart is with you all and we look forward to creating a really special night!”
