The rock band moe. will host a charity concert to benefit tsunami relief. The concert will be held at New York's Roseland Ballroom, February 10 at 8 p.m.

moe. will be joined by various artists throughout the evening, including guitarist Trey Anastasio, Medeski Martin and Wood keyboardist John Medeski, mandolin virtuoso Sam Bush and Vorcza keyboardist Ray Paczkowski.

Tickets are available at the Roseland Ballroom box office and Ticketmaster, January 22 at 10 a.m. EST.

All proceeds from this event will be matched by Dave Matthews Band and will go to the Bama Works Village Recovery Fund.

"The scope & breadth of this disaster are beyond comprehension," says moe. guitarist Al Schnier.

"As musicians on the other side of the world, we can't help feeling a bit helpless. Our hope is to contribute in some small way to help reestablish the communities damaged in the wake of these recent storms."

Adds bassist Rob Derhak, "We in the music community can get aid to families that need it. The concert profits will go to relief for Tsunami survivors, but it doesn't have to stop there. We need to continue to help those in need; it is everyone's responsibility."
