Signed and numbered by AJ Masthay in pencil. 14? X 23.25? HeadCount is proud to be producing “The Bridge Session, ” a free, live webcast of Bob Weir, a founding member of the Grateful Dead, with members of Brooklyn, NY-based The National. The event, originating from Weir’s TRI Studios on Saturday, March 24th, will benefit HeadCount. Panelists will include independent Presidential candidate Buddy Roemer, No Labels cofounder Mark McKinnon a former media advisor to George W. Bush, John McCain, Bono and Lance Armstrong, climate change activist Jessy Tolkan, and Grateful Dead lyricist and Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) cofounder John Perry Barlow. “We’re trying to sort of stir the pot, ” said Weir, who is a board member of HeadCount. There are going to be some, shall we say, effervescent personalities involved in these discussions and we’re going to make it as entertaining as possible. HeadCount, a non-partisan voter registration and civic engagement organization, put together the event in an attempt to “bridge the gaps” between different political perspectives as well as musical genres, sparking conversation that extends well beyond the three-hour webcast. The name “The Bridge Session” also references TRI Studios’ location 15 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge and The National’s home base near the Brooklyn Bridge. Weir was backed by an ensemble that includes The National’s Scott and Bryan Devendorf and their bandmate Aaron Dessner, along with many longtime friends from Brooklyn’s vibrant independent music scene: Thomas “Doveman” Bartlett and Kyle Resnick, both frequent collaborators of The National, Walt Martin of The Walkmen, Conrad Doucette of Takka Takka, and Sam Cohen and Josh Kaufman of the Yellowbirds. Kaufman is also the event’s musical director. HeadCount founder Marc Brownstein, a member of the electronic rock band The Disco Biscuits and a Brooklyn native, will serve as emcee.
