TOLEDO – The Warren Haynes band rolled through Toledo as part of their winter tour last month, giving locals an opportunity to not only enjoy the show but contribute to hurricane relief funds.
Asheville, N.C., native Warren Haynes and his band made a stop at the Stranahan Theater, the band’s third stop on the Million Voices Whisper tour 2025. A donation of $1 from each ticket sold went toward the hurricane relief fund in Asheville.
Last November, Warren Haynes performed alongside the Dave Matthews Band at Madison Square Garden, and money from the concert was to be donated to the hurricane relief funds in North Carolina and Florida. The show was sold out, and over $4.5 million was raised.
The MSG show included ticket sales, merchandise and sponsorships, and direct donations all contributed to the relief fund. The winter tour is focused solely on ticket sales as part of the donations to support the cause.
The fans at the Stranahan Theater were very happy to see Haynes perform, and by the end of the show, fans were standing and singing along. Between sets, there were interjections of “We love you, Warren!” which he would acknowledged.
Haynes performed songs from his new album Million Voices Whisper that he released last November, but he also played classics like Tear me Down and Soulshine.
It hasn’t been made public yet how much money was raised for the concert; that will be accounted for once the tour is complete. While the music itself was the driving force behind the crowd’s enjoyment, the love for Haynes’ and the support for his hometown of Asheville through its continued disaster relief efforts was palpable.
