Andy Bernstein, Executive Director & Co-Founder of HEADCOUNT

Andy Bernstein helped found HeadCount in 2004 and became its executive director in the spring of 2008. Under his stewardship, HeadCount has registered nearly 500,000 and become a leader in harnessing the power of music to drive social change.

Andy was one of the founders of National Voter Registration Day, and conceived the corresponding social media campaign that has involved over 500 musicians and celebrities and generated over one billion social media impressions.

He also helped create “Participation Row,” an activism village where concert attendees have taken over 100,000 socially-conscious actions while raising nearly $1.5 million for various music-industry charities (including over $500,000 generated from the auction of one guitar signed by members of the Grateful Dea). Andy has produced nearly a dozen benefit concerts and live music events, including 2012’s “The Bridge Session,” which paired HeadCount board member Bob Weir with members of The National for the first time.

Prior to creating HeadCount, Andy was best known in the music community as an author of “The Pharmer’s Almanac”, a guide to the band Phish that sold over 70,000 copies. He also worked in sports for more than a decade, as media editor of Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal and a vice president at the sports technology company Kangaroo TV.

HEADCOUNT Mission

HeadCount is a non-partisan organization that uses the power of music to register voters and promote participation in democracy. We reach young people and music fans where they already are – at concerts and online – to inform and empower. Our message is not about what party you support or where you land on an issue. It’s that you must speak to be heard.

Kimberlin Pelzer Brown has spent the past three decades building a multi-facetted career in business, philanthropy, entertainment and agriculture. While she is best known for her prominent role in CBS’s award winning international soap operas, she is a proud wife and mother, successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, two-time bone marrow donor, and a passionate advocate for women in politics.

 

Married for 27 years, Kimberlin and her husband Gary have built several successful businesses including a sports fishing and marina rental company, as well as an avocado farm. She also owns and personally operates her own successful design company, K. Brown Design. Like many small business owners, Kimberlin built her companies from the ground up and now employs over 100 Californians.

 

As one of a small, rare group of actors in Hollywood who are public about their conservative political beliefs, Kimberlin entered the national political spotlight as a prime time featured speaker at the Republican National Convention in 2016. 

She strongly believes that the district has not been effectively represented by incumbent Raul Ruiz and his leaders Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.  The National Republican Congressional Committee has awarded her “Young Gun” status for her achievements as a candidate. Former White House Chief of Staff and Governor John Sununu, Congressman Ed Royce, the East Valley Republican Women’s Federated and the Riverside County Republican Party have endorsed Kimberlin over her opponents because her diverse track record of successes will enable her to be an aggressive candidate who will be a principled and effective, results driven leader in Congress.

Bryan is largely responsible for the successful debut of Sexposé in Buffalo, NY.  He also just returned from a week on a cruise boat with New Kids on the Block.  We have a lot to catch up on, join us!

In the past, Tyler has donated works of art to The Trevor Project, The Tyler Clementi Foundation, The Miami-Dade LGBTQ Business Association, Harrisburg PA LGBT Center, VOICES4, Callen Lorde, as well as many other queer organizations throughout the country.

Andy "Action" Markham - percussionist, vocalist, Dungeon and Dragons leader, cat lover, political enthusiast and full on art life liver takes time out to chit chat about this week's pop culture!

2 Skinnee J's (also spelled Two Skinnee J's or Too Skinnee J's) is an American hip hop band from Brooklyn, New York, whose music has been categorized as nerdcore and rap rock. The band was founded in 1991 at Columbia University (NY,NY) by Special J (vocals), Rabbi J-Slim (vocals), Joey Viturbo (guitar), Sammy B (bass guitar), DJ Casper (keyboards), and Andy Action (drums). With numerous line-up changes, the band was active through the 1990s until 2003, when they officially disbanded. The group recorded several demos, 2 EPs, and 3 studio albums; SuperMercado! on Capricorn Records, Volumizer on Volcano Records, and Sexy Karate on Dolphins vs. Unicorns. The band went through several key membership changes before its breaking up in 2003, although they briefly reunited for reunion tours in 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012.

They started to break into the mainstream in 1998 after signing with Capricorn and releasing SuperMercado!, which found airplay on modern-rock radio stations.2 Skinnee J's performed at Woodstock '99 and later criticized the event. Relations soured with Capricorn and the label delayed release of the second album on 2 Skinnee J's two-album contract, Volumizer, produced by Mickey Petralia,for two years after it was recorded. The label folded and the band's contract was bought by Volcano Records.When the album was officially released in 2002, many critics refused to review it again as they had reviewed a pre-release version years earlier. Rockworthy says the delay and its fallout, which left the band without a label, were a major problem and contributed to their decision to break up in 2003.
