Fleet Foxes‘ Robin Pecknold debuted a new song during Vote Ready, A Concert For Voter Registration, a livestream event organized by Live From Out There, Fort William Artist Management, and the voter registration non-profit HeadCount. Backed by Angel Olsen drummer Joshua Jaeger and Holy Hive’s Paul Spring, his three-song set also included a cover of Arthur Russell’s ‘I Never Get Lonesome’ and the Roches’ ‘Hammond Song’ by the Roches.

“We love the idea of serving up original performances to anyone who checks their voter registration status,” Andy Bernstein, executive director of HeadCount, said in a statement. “We applaud the artists and Fort William Management for their leadership, and we hope it inspires many more similar events in the future.”
A number of other indie artists also performed during the event, including The War On Drugs, Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen and Christopher Bear, Waxahatchee, Kevin Morby, TV On The Radio’s Kyp Malone and Jaleel Bunton, Hand Habits, and more.
