In response to the devastating wildfires affecting Los Angeles and surrounding communities, a dedicated group of individuals and organizations from the LA audio community are coming together to host a special benefit concert and online silent auction. The event aims to raise funds for those impacted by the wildfires, with all proceeds directly supporting affected individuals and the Displaced Animal Fund.
The benefit concert will take place on February 15th from 3-7 PM at Stagg Street Studios, featuring a diverse lineup of performers, including Bob Malone, Sin City All Stars with special guests, Geeta Novotny and The Tone Council, comedians, individual singer-songwriters, and Blue Dolphin. The concert will also be live-streamed globally for those who cannot attend in person.
Additionally, an online silent auction will be hosted through 32auctions.com, featuring generous donations from industry leaders, including microphones, studio time, signed instruments, and more. 100% of donations will be digital, made directly to the non-profit through QR codes placed throughout the event. Attendees will also have the opportunity to donate products to support those who have lost their workspaces in the fires.
“Our community has always shown incredible strength in times of hardship,” said Autumn Pittman, Partner at Creative Bridge. “Through the power of music and collective action, we hope to provide relief, raise awareness, and support those who need it most.”
