HeadCount is a grassroots organization that uses the power of music to inspire participation in democracy. Since 2004, we've staged massive voter registration drives around the country and signed up over 150,000 voters. Our work is now expanding to include all forms of civic engagement, providing the tools for music fans to be involved, active citizens. Our message is simple: "Make your voice heard every day, not just on Election Day."

Founded by a collective of musicians and fans, our supporters include Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, My Morning Jacket, Wilco, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Phish and many other top recording artists. Marc Brownstein, bassist for the popular electronic rock band The Disco Biscuits, serves as our co-chair and Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir sits on our Board of Directors.

Musicians and their fans have the potential to be leaders in worldwide social movements. HeadCount is focused on harnessing that potential and translating into real action. With the backing of major musicians, we have a unique opportunity to motivate and inspire. With street teams in more than 30 cities and thousands of volunteers, we have a proven ability to rally young activists. By combining the individual power of the artists with the aggregate power of their fans, we can create a force as influential as music itself.
