HeadCount is a 501c3 non-partisan, not-for-profit organization devoted to voter registration and turnout. We are aligned with all of the top performers in improvisational music, including The Dead, Phish and Dave Matthews Band, and register voters at their concerts
HeadCount has registered over 70,000 voters nationwide, more than any all-volunteer group in the country. We also produced PSAs airing regularly on TNT, TBS and other networks during 2004.
The organization was founded by Marc Brownstein, the bass player for the popular electronic rock band The Disco Biscuits, and Andy Bernstein, a sports media reporter who authored the Phish fan guide The Pharmer's Almanac.
Our Board of Directors includes Bob Weir of the Dead along with the promoter of the Bonnaroo Music Fesitval and several top artist managers, musicians and music industry veterans.
HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
Just click HERE and volunteer. We'll be in touch about opportunities to register voters at specific concerts. Our schedule will be light in 2007, limited to a few major festivals. But in 2008 we'll have a presence at hundreds of concerts and will be enlisting literally thousands of volunteers, while hiring a few part-time and full-time employees. If you are interested in a leadership position, please join us this year. Be aware that volunteering for HeadCount is very demanding. We expect our volunteers to be reliable, professional, and show good judgment at all times. Drinking, drugs and being a slacker is not part of the HeadCount experience, It's an avenue for people to give something back to the community while achieving their full personal potential. If that's the kind of challenge you're looking for, then sign up!
