Vote for Change
Dixie Chicks are excited to announce the Vote for Change concert
tour. Vote for Change is a loose coalition of musicians brought
together by a single idea—the need to make a change in the direction
of our country. We share a belief that this is the most important
election of our lifetime. We are fighting for a government that
is open, rational, just and progressive.
"As concerned mothers, women and most importantly concerned
Americans, we are compelled to do what we can to inspire other voters
to get involved in this year's election. We hope our participation
in the Vote For Change Tour will be a catalyst for positive change,”
said the Dixie Chicks.
Artists participating in Vote for Change have merged their energies
and talents to focus on states that are expected to have the closest
race in the presidential election this fall. This unprecedented
effort will include approximately 34 shows in 28 cities in 9 battleground
states over the course of a week.
Vote for Change artists hope to accomplish a single goal through
the tour: to get people to the polls on November 2nd to vote for
a change
