7th Annual Maui Songwriters Festival to Support Wildfire Relief

The picturesque island of Maui is set to welcome music enthusiasts and philanthropists alike to the 7th Annual Maui Songwriters Festival, slated for January 6-13, 2024. The week-long festival promises a blend of community spirit and top-tier musical performances, beginning with a headlining concert by the acclaimed country band Old Dominion at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center on January 6th.

Combating Wildfire Aftermath through Music

In the wake of devastating wildfires, the festival has adopted a noble cause, committing to aid those affected by channeling proceeds from specific events. Notably, revenue generated from ticket sales for the VIP Benefit held on January 7, and an Auction at the closing event on January 13, will contribute to the funds for wildfire relief.

Exclusive Memorabilia for a Cause

Attendees also have the opportunity to acquire exclusive memorabilia, with two ʻukulele autographed by this year’s participating talent and signed paintings of local Maui singer-songwriters being up for grabs. The previous year's auction successfully raised $40,000, which was donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui, illustrating the festival's impactful charitable efforts.

A Week of Diverse Musical Shows

The event extends well beyond the opening concert, offering a series of shows at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua from January 7-13. The festival includes complimentary community shows at the Alaloa Lounge and will feature a roster of Nashville's award-winning artists and songwriters, together with local Maui talent, ensuring an immersive experience that celebrates both the global and local music scenes.

Star-Studded Line-Up

Stellar performances will grace the festival, including CMA Vocal Group of the Year Old Dominion, Chase Rice, Elle King, and a host of other acclaimed Nashville songwriters and artists. The shows will also spotlight local Maui musicians, showcasing the rich talent the island has to offer.

As the Maui Songwriters Festival unfolds, it stands as a testament to the healing power of music and the collective efforts to support communities in need. With a lineup set to enchant and philanthropic objectives to aspire for, it is a beacon of hope and entertainment for the people of Maui and beyond.
