Fueled By Ramen’s grandson has teamed up with K.Flay to share a collaborative new single, “Peaches.” The song marks the first release of grandson’s XXwhy acoustic campaign, which is a campaign that each month will feature him releasing an acoustic collaboration leading up to the 2020 presidential election.
On top of the tracks, grandson will be releasing an accompanying XXwhy podcast, creating a discourse between those creatives working in music and activism. The podcast, recorded at idobi Radio and hosted by grandson, will feature acoustic performances of the collaborative tracks and discussions with the collaborators, activists, and more. The very first episode with K.Flay will premiere at 6:00pm PST on March 1st on idobi Radio, which will be followed by an official video for “Peaches” in the coming weeks.
Additionally, grandson has partnered with Headcount and Gibson Guitars for the XXwhy campaign, which focuses on voter registration for the upcoming election. You will also notice that each track released as part of this campaign will feature “Text Voter XX to 40649” in the title. Those who text the number will be registered to receive updates about voter registration in their area and can join the “me +3” initiative which helps voters’ friends to register as well. By texting the number, you will also be entered to win a signed Epiphone guitar by grandson and the featured artist for that month’s track.
This upcoming march, grandson will head out on a headlining tour of Canada, kicking off on March 17th at Victoria’s Sugar Nightclub. Following his Canadian tour dates, grandson will head to Europe to support A Day To Remember on a May run, followed by a series of North American festival appearances.
