Like last year, this one will be another round of festivals, concert events, and more Summer Stops! Specifically, more symphony shows! After last year's experience with the wonderful Colorado and National Symphonies, we'll be sharing the stage with the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Mann in June and with the Boston Pops at Tanglewood in August!! Tickets are on sale now.
We’re playing a small run of shows across battleground states to promote one simple goal: voter turn out!
We’ve joined forces with Calling All Crows for this tour to leverage the power of music to inspire, activate, and boost civic engagement during this critical election year. You will get to participate in activities that promote a thriving and equitable democracy both nationally and locally. AMPlifying Democracy’s ultimate goal is to promote, engage, and celebrate our democratic process regardless of party lines.
Matt Quinn of Mt. Joy and Taylor Meier of Caamp will be opening up one night each for our two nights in Boston at MGM Music Hall. Lizzie No will be supporting from Green Bay to Harrisburg.
Live From The Boston Woods, our release from last August in Mansfield, MA, is out now! This is our first new live album in almost five years — Gut The Van being our very first.
This record includes Embree shredding per the uszh on "Bang Bang," "Outloud" with G. Love on the harmonica, and a special all-skate encore with O.A.R. and G. Love.
Boston has always been a home for us, and y’all bring it every time loud and proud! Thanks to all coast-to-coast for the magic last year, and let’s get back to that night in the woods!!

We are s t o k e d to announce our new I AM STRONG IF YOU ARE STRONG benefit t-shirt! Available now!
We've sung these lyrics with you all in solidarity for the last 20+ years... Thinking of it makes us smile and remember how our friend Elias in Zimbabwe always has an unsinkable optimism in every situation.
We designed these shirts in partnership with our friend Kris at earthisanisland.com. 50% of the proceeds from every t-shirt go to organizations fighting Covi̇d-19 for the sake of our native brothers and sisters, those who are incarcerated, and those who are food insecure... Let’s do this! We are stronger together!
In honor of Human Rights Day, our new song “Year of the Woman” is out now. Watch the music video below, directed, edited, and produced by Genéa Gaudet, or listen here.
This song came out of the Brett Kavanaugh hearings... we were shocked and upset to see the polarization around a woman brave enough to share her story of sexual abuse and that her abuser was ultimately named Supreme Court Justice.
Brett Kavanaugh is just one of many men whose stories of abusing their power and women have come to light recently…
We’re two white men who are in proximity to the problem, and we want to use our platform, as Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley says, to raise the people closest to the pain to power. In our evolution, we’ve been lucky to learn from the amazing women in our lives and in the public sphere. We’re just now grasping how different their reality is.
Our society needs less ego and more of a nurturing spirit - we need more women in positions of power. The time for gender equity is far overdue.
With that in mind, we want to learn more from badass women and girls leading change in their communities. We hope to bring you, our fans, on this journey with us and get your help. We'll be doing interviews every other month in 2020 with Calling All Crows to highlight women and girls leading in their fields.

We hope you enjoy this song and video that share some of what we learned from the powerful women speaking up about rampant abuse. We tried to convey the impact watching this unfold from the sidelines has had on us. We owe a debt to these women who put their own safety and comfort at risk to try and make a better, violence-free world for us all, and we’re excited to follow their lead and contribute to the movement.
