Organizers say fans can also give additional donations directly to Maui fire relief efforts at the time of purchase and at the show.

Johnson released the following statement:

All our love is going to our friends and family on Maui right now As we began to brainstorm ways we could support the community, we found tracks from an acoustic show from 2012 that Paula, John and I played at the MACC on Maui. While listening to the songs we thought back to the time we spent that spring, both on stage but also bonding with our Maui ‘ohana. We know it will be a long road ahead. We hope the positive energy from this show can carry on to help raise funds and support families in need. Aloha, Jack.
