Help on the Way LA was created in response to the widespread destruction caused by the Altadena wildfires, which displaced families, destroyed homes, and left entire communities struggling to rebuild. Organized by Eric “Kraz” Krasno in partnership with the Song Summit Foundation & Fandiem, the initiative is rallying musicians and fans to provide urgent support to children and musicians who have lost everything.

“As many of you know, our neighborhood was nearly destroyed by the Eaton fire. My son’s school burned, and countless friends lost their homes and surrounding community. In the midst of the madness, I decided to reach out to friends in the music community to raise some money and help those in need…. In partnership with Song Summit Foundation we started HELP ON THE WAY LA. Right away so many amazing artists got involved and signed instruments, photos & merch that we will be up for auction and sweepstakes through Fandiem following our benefit show at the Lodge Room in LA. So far we have signed guitars from Dave Matthews, Billy Strings, Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi, Warren Haynes, Trey Anastasio, John Scofield and many others plus signed photos from Bob Weir, Mike Gordon and a list of other items being added.

Our beneficiaries include the Pasadena Boys & Girls Club, which has been providing mental health and physical support to displaced children/families and hundreds of children who lost their schools in the fires, as well as Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which is assisting musicians who lost their homes and instruments.

I wanna send a Huge thanks to the massive generosity from Gibson guitars, Beth Heidt, D’Angelico guitars, Justin Frieddman, Jay Blakesberg for the amazing prints,  and of course Song Summit, Ross James and Fandiem for helping put this all together. Please go to HelpOnTheWayLA.org to for more info.” -Eric Krasno

 “We believe in the power of music to bring people together, heal, and create real impact. The devastation caused by the LA fires has left so many in need, and as a foundation dedicated to using music for wellness and community support, we feel compelled to act. This benefit concert and auction will not only raise critical funds for those affected but also serve as a reminder of the strength and resilience that music can inspire in times of crisis.” -Paige Anderson, Founder of Song Summit Foundation 

Beneficiaries of Help on the Way LA include the Pasadena Boys & Girls Club, which has been providing support to hundreds of children who lost their schools and homes, and Sweet Relief, which is assisting musicians who lost their homes and instruments.
