Companies really do care what you think.

To date, HeadCount has registered more voters than any other all-volunteer group in the country.

In 2005, the Johnson’s, along with their crew, MusicMatters, and the leading environmental scientists developed the EnviroRider, an environmental handbook presenting eco-friendly options and actions for the various components of tour production (coordination, travel, venues, etc.).
