With the primaries nearing completion and the general election setting in, it’s becoming increasingly important for citizens to fill out their voter registrations. Fortunately, the non-profit group HeadCount will be on the scene at venues throughout the summer, touring with some of your favorite artists and encouraging people to update their voter registration.
Today, the group has announced an exciting initiative to increase their volunteer efforts, by launching an eBay auction series selling tickets, signed concert posters and more from Dead & Company, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and The Dixie Chicks. The funds from these auctions will help HeadCount send volunteers to various venues to run registration drives. All Dead & Company auction will also benefit the Rex Foundation.
Tickets were donated by bands from their “friends and family” allotments, so they’re all really great seats. Not only are tickets on the docket, but signed posters and a special meet and greet with Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi can also be purchased for the cause. You can find this special auction here, as well as a special signed guitar and a Kings of Leon meet and greet.
All of the other auctions can be found here. With the first-ever HeadCount-Dixie Chicks partnership, the first touring HeadCount drive for Tedeschi Trucks, and tours set up for bands like Phish, Dave Matthews Band and more, this is going to be a great summer for celebrating music and the right to vote!
Come November, be sure to get out and vote!
