Rock & Roll Hall of Famers The Doobie Brothers recently released a new single "Lahaina" along with an accompanying music video.
The song was released to raise aid and support for Maui following the August 2023 wildfire disaster. The single features Mick Fleetwood, Jake Shimabukuro, and Henry Kapono and is the group's first release since their 2021 album Liberte.
"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, co-founder of People's Fund of Maui.
"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."
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.
