Theresa Wolters steps in as interim executive director, Billboard has learned.
"The music community does amazing things when it comes together,” Harvey Mason jr. said.
Last year, more than 2,500 people participated, according to MusiCares.
"We need better coordination to create comprehensive support for everyone who works in music. At MusiCares, we have never gone at it alone and have no interest in trying."
"In addition to raising money for music people, we are proud to add these three incredible partners who are supporting the Los Angeles region in other ways," said Harvey Mason jr.
The Feb. 1 show will benefit MusiCares and LA wildfire relief efforts.
Like the 67th Grammy Awards, organizers say the event will help raise money for wildfire relief efforts.
They'll be the third band to receive the honor.
MusiCares' relief efforts have helped amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Las Vegas Route 91 shooting, Hurricanes Katrina, Harvey, Irma, Ida and more.
