Internationally-acclaimed Oregon-based vocalist Halie Loren will perform in concert (streaming only) to benefit the United Way of Lane County‘s wildfire relief efforts. Her longtime collaborator, Matt Treder, will accompany her on piano – with a special guest appearance by Daniel Gallo on guitar. This professionally filmed multi-camera livestream starts at 5 pm Pacific (8 pm Eastern) on Saturday, September 26.

As Oregon residents with deep ties to their local community, all involved have felt a very personal investment in and sense of urgency toward creating this event: “My neighbors, my fellow Oregonians, need our love and support right now,” says Halie. “People all over our beautiful state are hurting from immense loss. Though we can’t bring back what has disappeared, we can help ease the burden of rebuilding lives by contributing in any way we can – whether that’s through volunteering or through donating to the United Way of Lane County and other organizations that are doing so much in the wake of these fires. This concert will help raise funds for our distressed communities, and hopefully will raise some spirits as well through the healing power of music.”
All proceeds from this ticketed virtual concert event will be donated directly to the UWLC to assist those affected by the Holiday Farm Fire. Tickets are $25 and donations at all levels are greatly appreciated. Ticket purchasers will receive an exclusive link via email on Saturday to enjoy a unique concert experience.
“Watching these fires rage through the mountain communities and wild places we’ve loved for so many years can make us feel hopeless,” says nonprofit fundraiser and professional videographer Ephraim Payne. “As an antidote to that feeling, Halie Loren and I decided to put together a livestream concert fundraiser for United Way of Lane County. Together we can use our talents to create a sense of hope and support for everyone affected by the Holiday Farm Fire.”
