Kevin Costner’s Band Releases a Song For Hurricane Relief

Actor Kevin Costner‘s country band, Kevin Costner & Modern West, has released their first song in over four years — and it’s for a good cause.

On the group’s Instagram page, Costner announced “Find Your Way,” a pay-what-you-want song release that will benefit victims of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. He explained that proceeds will go towards Hope Force International, a disaster relief organization “who are on the ground actively helping in the areas devastated by these hurricanes.”

The actor and singer also said that he intended this song as a message of hope for storm victims, and for anyone else who may be struggling.

“I’ve gone through seasons of darkness where I clung to the lyrics of songs that really carried me through,” Costner went on to say. “I hope that ‘Find Your Way’ provides that kind of refuge for anyone trudging through and losing sight of hope.”

“I hope it means something to you guys, and that you’ll consider purchasing it to benefit the victims of these terrible storms,” he added.
