Entertainers Partner with HeadCount.org For Election Day Social Media Push To Get The Vote Out

10/30/2014

Entertainers partner with HeadCount.org for election day social media push to get voters to the polls. Performers ranging from Linkin Park to Stephen Colbert, from Sarah Silverman to Weird Al join forces to try and get voters, especially young voters and "drop off" voters who only vote in Presidential elections, not in midterm elections.

All the participants have taken photos showing them holding signs saying #GoVote. The images have been saturating social media in the hope that they will get folks out to the polls. Over three hundred entertinainers, averaging a million social media followers (on various platforms) are taking part. This is the largest get out the vote effort ever on social media.

Let's hope it works. Seriously, go vote.

Sultry Americana Songstress, Shelly Waters,' Drive Out November 4 On Moonwatcher Records

10/21/2014

Shelly Waters' Drive comes out November 4, 2014 on Moonwatcher Records. The soulful Americana songwriter and her label rounded up a who's who of studio talent to back her up on the record--musicians who've worked with artists ranging from Widespread Panic to Rihanna and from Bonny Raitt to The Roots (and well beyond this).

Having solid studio pros like this is a huge plus but it doesn't mean much if you don't have solid songs at the outset. These same studio guys also took to the road with Waters.
