“The damage and destruction that Hurricane Helene caused to my beloved home in Asheville and throughout Western North Carolina has truly devastated me,” says Haynes. “Every year, it's an honor to host the Christmas Jam and give back to the community there, but this year, we got to do things a little differently. I'm excited to team up with my good friends in the Dave Matthews Band and so many other musician friends to bring 'SOULSHINE' to the iconic Madison Square Garden and help raise money for all those affected by the two hurricanes throughout North Carolina and Florida. My heart goes out to you and we look forward to creating a truly special evening!”
