VOTE by Elaine Townsend
VOTE, a new collection of three joyous songs, offers an urgent message: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris must become America’s 46th President and Vice President and everyone must vote.
Conceived, written and produced by South Carolina singer-songwriter-guitarist Elaine Townsend, VOTE captures the best elements of protest songs: a passion for social justice and a call to action captured in great rhythms and unforgettable melodies. You will tap your feet if not get up and dance while listening.
A CD, which includes streaming and digital download, is also available for $6, including shipping. Email votebidensc@gmail.com
**All proceeds will benefit the Biden for president campaign**
