HeadCount: Moving Beyond Bands That Jam

HeadCount recently announced the latest addition to its ever-growing artist roster. Looking to diversify and reach a larger concert-going base, HC has teamed up most recently with Pearl Jam, John Mayer, Foo Fighters, Ani DiFranco, Jack Johnson, Colin Meloy of the Decemberists and Megadeth. Much like the diversification of the Bonnaroo line-up, HeadCount is looking to reach a new crowd to help meet its goal of registering 100,000 new voters before November.


With the addition of new artists and upcoming summer tours HeadCount is seeking individuals that will be the official Touring Team Representative for entire tours of Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Pearl Jam and more artists to be announced in the coming months. According to the HeadCount press release, “Our volunteers will tour with these world-famous performers and register voters at each stop on their respective tours. Participating artists and HeadCount provide transportation, lodging, a stipend, and entrance to shows. This is an incredible opportunity for people who have a great work ethic and leadership experience.” READ ON for more on HC’s “Ultimate Summer Gig”…
