In addition to the auction, the band has already raised over $20,000 through a special benefit concert that took place at the historic Shoals Theater in Muscle Shoals, AL on May 25. In addition to The Civil Wars, the concert featured special guest appearances by Dylan LeBlanc and Doc Dailey & Magnolia Devil. 100% of the proceeds were donated directly toward tornado victims.

John Paul White (one half of The Civil Wars) was inspired to action after witnessing the devastation first hand in his home of Florence, Alabama. White states, "The devastation around here can't be summed up very easily; not in words, pictures, or video. It's everywhere we look—the lines at the gas pumps, the lines at the hotels, the desperation for generators, water, non-perishable food. I, just like everyone else here, have close friends and family that have lost everything."
