Katy Perry and Gwen Stefani performs during Sunday’s One Love Malibu

Katy Perry and Gwen Stefani performs during One Love Malibu, a cozy benefit concert held Sunday at the King Gillette Ranch. And One Love Malibu felt cozier than the average benefit concert. After Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma ravaged cities across the South last year, the major television networks joined forces with social media’s most powerful outlets to raise money for survivors with an all-star telethon. Much has been written already about how the national media appeared to give short shrift to the deadly wildfires that blazed through California last month (at least compared with the wall-to-wall coverage of East Coast hurricanes).

This past weekend, approximately 1,000 folks gathered in a muddy field in Calabasas to do the same for victims of the recent Woolsey fire. But you couldn’t help but think of the disparity again during One Love Malibu, a cozy benefit concert held Sunday at the King Gillette Ranch with performers including Katy Perry and Gwen Stefani.

Unlike that slickly produced hurricane special (not to mention similar ones presented in the wake of Katrina), this show wasn’t broadcast live in prime time. Nor did it get a big push from Twitter and Facebook in its effort to provide relief to those impacted by the Woolsey, which did more than $1.6 billion worth of damage in Malibu, according to a Times analysis.

Minus much attention from the agenda-setters in New York, One Love Malibu — with its low-key performances and its rambling speeches — had a decidedly homespun, we’ll-do-it-ourselves vibe.“Hi, neighbors!” Perry said onstage before accurately likening the event to a Sunday-afternoon barbecue. Then the lifelong Californian told the crowd she was there because her keyboardist, Ty Bailie, had lost his house in the fire.“We’re all in this together,” she added.

Other performers included Joe Walsh, who rumbled through his old James Gang hits “Walk Away” and “Funk #49”; Robin Thicke, who crooned “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and covered tunes by Michael Jackson and Al Green; and Seattle-based Brandi Carlile, who called herself a “West Coast girl for life” before singing Joni Mitchell’s “River.”

Backstage before her performance, Alanis Morissette recalled visiting Los Angeles from her native Canada for the 1984 Olympics, when she was 10. “I went to Malibu for the first time and just remember thinking, ‘This is the most beautiful place in the whole world,’” she said. Now she’s lived in the coastal town for 22 years — her house was damaged in the fire but not destroyed — and thinks of it as “a place to escape, to get some respite and solace from the Hollywood shuffle.

Cisco Adler — a singer and producer who grew up in Malibu with his well-connected father, Lou Adler — said he’d been through three serious fires in his life but said the Woolsey was “the first time I wondered if Malibu was still going to be around.” Asked about the dismissive attitude some have voiced toward the town, given the ample means many residents have to rebuild, Adler said, “Listen, that’s the surface, and people only know what they know.

The musical acts at One Love Malibu — which also featured Rick Springfield, Macy Gray and members of Incubus — were assembled by Linda Perry, the prolific songwriter and producer known for her work with Stefani and Christina Aguilera.

Standing onstage between acts, Perry said she’d “jumped in” after being asked to by Alice Bamford of Malibu’s One Gun Ranch, where Sunday’s show was set to take place before being moved after rainstorms last week threatened to trigger mudslides.
