STARS JOIN FORCES FOR LIVESTREAM EVENT TO SUPPORT MAUI

LL COOL J, Gretchen Rhodes w/Mick Fleetwood & Friends, Ziggy Marley, Lukas Nelson, Nathaniel Rateliff, Fred Armisen, Sarah McLachlan, Ryan Bingham, Stewart Copeland, Kai Lenny and more will join forces tomorrow (9/8) for #MauiStrong, a livestream event on YouTube benefiting the Hawaiian Community Foundation, the #MauiStrong Fund and MusiCares.

Produced by Rolling Live Studios and Licorice Pizza Records, in collaboration with film producer Stacey Sher, Shiny Penny Productions and YouTube Music, the 120-minute livestream will air on Ziggy Marley’s official YouTube Channel on 9/8 at 5pm PT.

Hosted by KCRW’s Elvis Mitchell and Jimmy Jam, the livestream will feature eight unique segments blending art, music and storytelling, including a Hawaiian Blessing with Lei‘Ohu Ryder, cultural presentations involving hula and mele, and a “Drums for Maui” segment led by Stewart Copeland of The Police, backed by local musicians from the island. The livestream will cast a spotlight on stories of local heroism and the rich history and challenges of Lahaina and the wider Maui community.

The broadcast will air live from Maui and Sound City Studios in L.A.

Funds raised will support two crucial causes: the Maui Strong Fund, which provides immediate and long-term recovery aid for the people and areas devastated by the Maui wildfires; and MusiCares, a charity supporting the health and welfare of the music community through preventive, emergency, and recovery programs. Additional proceeds from the soundtrack inspired by this event will be delivered to #MauiStrongFund and MusiCares.

Viewers will have the option to donate directly via the DONATE button while watching the livestream.
