In case you haven’t heard enough about the Georgia Senate runoff races on Jan. 5, a consortium of artists with Georgia ties will hold a virtual #iVoted Festival throughout Election Day.
The lineup – which was invited based on the top streaming acts in and from Georgia via Chartmetic data – includes Akie Bermiss of Lake Street Dive + Lake Street Dive, Andy Mineo, Arrested Development, Brendan & Joel of Umphrey’s McGee, Casey Donahew, Cherub, Drive-By Truckers, Greensky Bluegrass, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Jukebox the Ghost, Kate Pierson of the B-52s, Living Colour, Nicole Paige Brooks of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Peggy Seeger, Shakey Graves, The Revivalists and W. Kamau Bell.
Fans can RSVP access to the stream – which will take place from 1-9:35 p.m. - by taking a selfie outside their polling place, at home with their blank or unmarked ballot or next to a mailbox or post office if they’ve already voted. Non-Georgia residents and fans too young to vote can also access at http://ivotedfestival.com/.
The #iVoted initiative – which launched during the 2018 midterm elections - was founded by talent manager Emily White, along with Mike Luba and Wilco’s Pat Sansone. Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman also serves as a board member.
The virtual festival is being hosted by streaming platform Mandolin, which has built three virtual stages with Georgia-related names: the Well Dunn Stage, The Peach Stage and Georgia’s Own Stage.
Other artists expected to appear include Yacht Rock Revue, Kevn Kinney, A$H, Crimson Apple, Young Culture, Erica Cumbo, Glimmers, Bruce Sudano, Algiers, The Coathangers and The Future Babes.
