We made it to the middle of the week, Scenestar readers. Wednesday brings us one of the biggest concert events of the week, though, courtesy of our Show of the Night, A Concert For Altadena! This star-studded benefit show featuring some of our favorite local acts will be taking the stage tonight at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium to help the victims of last year’s destructive fires in the city of Altadena. The lineup will include sets by Dawes, Everclear, Ozomatli, Eric Krasno, Aloe Blacc, Jackson Browne, Brandon Flowers (of The Killers), Judith Hill, Jenny Lewis, Mandy Moore, Brad Paisley, Stephen Stills, Lord Huron, Rufus Wainwright, Lucius, and more, with John C Reilly as the host.
The show coincides with the first anniversary of the Eaton Fire that devastated Altadena. Dawes co-founders, brothers Taylor Goldsmith and Griffin Goldsmith, were among the thousands impacted by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
You can also livestream and donate directly to A Concert For Altadena via Nugs or YouTube. All proceeds from A Concert for Altadena directly benefit the Altadena Builds Back Foundation, supporting long-term housing recovery and relief for families, small businesses, and first responders impacted by the Eaton Fire. You can also bid on instruments and concert experiences right now via Fandiem to benefit Altadena Builds Back Foundation here.
If you can’t get into our Show of the Night, your other music options include performances by Doug Benson, Michael Che, Margaret Cho, Sheila E., Fast Kids, Nikki Glaser, Maejoy, Muscle Beach, Strawflower, Terlingua, Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco), Rene Vaca, Yagki, and many more.
