"I'm just happy that people will come because all the money goes to the Red Cross,” Bones told Live5News.

"We put shirts online and were able to make $80,000 for the American Red Cross,” Bones said. Then, the band decided to do a show.

With the partnership of the American Red Cross and iHeartMedia's Country WEZL 103.5 FM, Bones and his team set up the show and sold around 1000 tickets in approximately a week’s time.

"You know being here firsthand, and being through a few floods myself, we just wanted to reach out in the biggest way possible," Bones said.

Proceeds from Saturday’s tickets and t-shirt sales totaled $82,000. “The Raging Idiots” presented a check to the Red Cross during the performance.

"It's just such a great cause,” Bones said. “It's just people helping people."
