Our friends at HeadCount are celebrating their 10th birthday today. The organization—best known for their concert and music festival voter registration efforts—has posted an article that tells the story of its founding and first year in action. The piece was written by Jambands.com / Relix Assistant Editor (and former HeadCount intern) Sam D’Arcangelo.

Today marks ten year since HeadCount launched with a special “Headcount Allstars” concert at Cervantes’ in Denver. The superjam featured HeadCount co-founder Marc Brownstein of The Disco Biscuits, board member Al Schnier of moe. and their bandmates Aron Magner and Vinnie Amico.
