The platform has identified over 100 benefit shows ranging from intimate venues to large stadiums with 70,000+ capacity. Using their existing venue and event database, Area4Labs developed specialized data collection methods to track these charitable performances.
Notable contributions include:
- Morgan Wallen: $500,000 to Red Cross
- Dolly Parton: $1 million to recovery efforts
- Luke Combs and Eric Church: Led 'Concert for Carolina' raising $24.5 million, primarily benefiting Asheville
The Area4Labs team, comprised of musicians and music enthusiasts, created this initiative to support the Appalachian music scene and other affected communities. They plan to expand Hearby Cares to track and promote events around various social and cultural movements in the future.
The platform serves as a centralized resource for finding and attending benefit shows, ensuring maximum impact for recovery efforts while helping disaster victims rebuild their communities through the power of live music.
