Today, GRAMMY-Nominated singer songwriter JP Saxe has announced NY FOR LA, a benefit show he has organized to raise relief funds for those affected by the devastation of the Los Angeles wildfires, taking place Wednesday January 22nd at Bowery Ballroom. All funds raised will be donated to Mutual Aid LA.
JP had initially intended on organizing a New York release show for his upcoming single “Safe” due out next week. However, given both having been a long-time LA resident and the nature of a song about making each other feel protected, he felt compelled to help his community in any way he could. He explains further:
this was gonna be a single release show but it’s a benefit show now. wtf is the point of a song about the way I wanna make the people I love feel safe if we don’t actually do some shit. so wednesday night at bowery ballroom. all proceeds going to LA Mutual Aid. I’ll play you new songs, maybe some friends pull up (if you want to be involved in any way, in person or otherwise, please hit me), we’ll raise a bunch of money and show some NY love to our LA family.
The benefit will feature performances by JP and friends as a way to come together in support of our west coast loved ones all the way from the east coast.
