Next month, HeadCount, Fort William, and Live From Out There will present a Vote Ready free virtual concert event to raise awareness for music fans to update and verify their voter registration heading into election season.
The online event will take place on Friday, August 14th, starting at 7 p.m. ET, and will feature virtual performances from The War On Drugs, Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes), Kam Franklin (The Suffers), Waxahatchee, Daniel Rossen & Christopher Bear (Grizzly Bear), Kyp Malone & Jaleel Bunton (TV on the Radio), Kevin Morby, Hand Habits, Tarriona Tank Ball (Tank & The Bangas), Ciggy, Allison Russell & Leyla McCalla (Our Native Daughters), and the Building.
“This is a first of its kind event. We love the idea of serving up original performances to anyone who checks their voter registration status,” HeadCount’s Andy Bernstein said with this week’s announcement. “We applaud the artists and Fort William Management for their leadership, and we hope it inspires many more similar events in the future.”
