Yo La Tengo Offers Private Concerts for Harris Campaign

Indie rock band Yo La Tengo is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's presidential campaign by offering intimate acoustic house shows in exchange for sizable donations to the campaign. The band has invited fans to submit proposals for hosting these private concerts, with prioritization based on donation amount, location, and availability. Although the band has not specified what constitutes a 'sizable donation,' they encourage applicants to align event dates with their upcoming tour schedule. The unique fundraising effort is part of a broader trend of celebrity endorsements and support for the Harris-Walz ticket, which has gained momentum since Harris replaced President Biden. Notable figures in the music industry have also rallied behind the campaign, further energizing their bid against former President Donald Trump. This initiative exemplifies the intersection of music and politics as artists leverage their platforms for social engagement.
