Rock & Roll Hall of Famers The Doobie Brothers<\/b> recently released a new single “Lahaina” along with an accompanying music video. <\/p>\n
The song was released to raise aid and support for Maui following the August 2023 wildfire disaster. The single features Mick Fleetwood<\/b>, Jake Shimabukuro<\/b>, and Henry Kapono<\/b> and is the group’s first release since their 2021 album Liberte<\/i>. <\/p>\n
“As our people of Maui piece their lives and homes back together, we’re grateful to have the genuine support and beautiful music of The Doobie Brothers,” said Dwayne Johnson<\/b>, co-founder of People’s Fund of Maui.<\/p>\n
“A longtime resident of the island, Pat [Simmons] understands the Maui community and the tragic devastation its residents are bravely overcoming,” he added. “‘Lahaina’ is a song that both captures our aloha spirit and will help to make a real difference in the recovery.”<\/p>\n
Proceeds from the song will go to the fundraising efforts on behalf of the People’s Fund of Maui and The Doobie Brothers will also be donating $100,000 to the organization, which provides direct financial assistance to over 8,000 Maui community members displaced from the fires in Lahaina and Kula.<\/p>\n
