OCTOBER 27, 2016 // 21 Benyaro brings Get Out the South Paciic County Humane Society Vote tour to the North Coast to host Open House and BIG Rale ASTORIA and LONG BEACH, Wash. — Wyoming indie roots and rock band Benyaro is bring- ing its Get Out The Vote fall tour to Clatsop and Paciic counties. Partnering with Head- Count and Rock the Vote, Benyaro has been perform- ing across the U.S. since Aug. 14 to encourage voter registration and voting in November’s elections. The band will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30 at Fort George Brewery, located at 1483 Duane St. in Astoria The show is free and open to all ages. The concert is an oficial Rock The Vote rally, where the band will motivate people to vote or vote early. Benyaro will also travel to Washington and per- form with Jeff Crosby at the Pitchwood Alehouse in Raymond on Nov. 4 and at the Adrift Hotel in Long Beach on Election Day, Nov. 8. The band will talk at both shows about why voting is important. “After the show, we are open to more one-on-one discussions with anyone who approaches and wants to engage in that discussion. At the merch table, wherever,” SUBMITTED PHOTO Benyaro is bringing its Get Out the Vote tour to Astoria and Long Beach, Washington. said frontman Ben Musser. Of the civically minded tour, Musser said, “Voting is very important, no matter the choices. It may sound hyperbolic, but people die every day ighting to have that right. Many Americans take it for granted. I hope to encourage folks across the USA to shed cynicism, use your best judgment, and vote practically on Nov. 8.” This election season is particularly one of interest for Musser who attended The Hill School alongside Donald Trump Jr. Despite those school boy ties, Muss- er is actively campaigning against his former class- mate’s father. In conjunction with the tour, Benyaro released the irst new material from the band’s sessions with Danny Kadar (The Avett Brothers, My Morning Jacket), record- ed at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, North Caroli- na. The politically inspired song “Too Many Men” was released as a single to radio on Aug. 30 Mon-Sat 10 am - 8 pm Sun 12 Noon - 6 pm 2911 Marine Dr #B Astoria, OR 97103 503-325-3276 A Licensed Recreational Marijuana Retailer Where Astoria Shops!
