Acoustic performances will be at The Troubadour in Los Angeles

Multi-platinum selling rock band X Ambassadors and This Fiction announce a night of music to support The National Network of Abortion Funds. Featuring acoustic performances from X Ambassadors, Grandson, UPSAHL, Jensen McRae, Corook, Rosie and more, this special event will take place at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on August 22nd. Tickets are on sale now and the show will stream via FlyMachine.

“We are excited to be putting this show together with these incredible artists,” shares X Ambassadors frontman Sam Nelson Harris. “All proceeds go to benefit The National Network of Abortion Funds…a cause we feel very passionately about in order to help provide safe & affordable options for people to make reproductive decisions.”

“We appreciate X Ambassadors and all of the wonderful artists performing who are using their platforms to advocate for abortion funds and send much-needed financial resources that support abortion access,” adds Deborah Ghosh, managing director of the National Network of Abortion Funds. “Artists have always played a huge part in sharing information and advocating for social justice causes. Just as importantly, the artists at this concert will be using their music and microphones to break down the silence and stigma around abortion. Right now, it’s more important than ever that we raise all of our voices to support abortion funds. Thank you to X Ambassadors for their quick move to support people seeking abortions through this night of generosity.”

X Ambassadors made their full-length debut with VHS, a 2015 release that saw the band transition from Ithaca alt-rockers and Brooklyn-indie-scene outsiders to Billboard stalwarts. Now certified platinum, VHS provided an intimate look at Sam Nelson Harris and his brother Casey Harris’s youth, delivering the genre-defying hits “Unsteady” and “Renegades” and leading to a three-year global touring odyssey as well as a string of high-profile festival performances.

VHS was followed by X Ambassadors’ 2019 sophomore album Orion, which they supported with an extensive headline tour of the US. A project inspired by ’60s and ’70s soul and R&B, the band’s Belong EP, arrived in March 2020. The group’s third full-length, The Beautiful Liar, is the latest and most ambitious outcome of the band’s hyper-creative tendencies. Released in 2021, the band pays homage to those beloved fictions of their childhood through lead singles, “My Own Monster” and “Okay.”

An additional leg of The Beautiful Liar Tour will commence in summer 2022 in North America and will extend throughout the UK for fall 2022.
