Speedy Ortiz Announce Tour, Proceeds to Benefit the Girls Rock Camp Foundation

Speedy Ortiz Announce Tour, Proceeds to Benefit the Girls Rock Camp Foundation

Speedy Ortiz have announced an all-ages tour behind their latest album, Foil Deer. This time around, 100% of net proceeds will go to Girls Rock Camp Foundation, a non-profit that generates funding for camps designed to help girls develop real-world skills and artistic expression through musical collaboration. Find their full schedule below—the all-ages shows start on December 8.

Additionally, those who donate certain amounts will receive various prizes, including a custom Speedy Ortiz poster, Girls Rock Camp Foundation print, and nail art stickers. 

Here’s what Sadie Dupuis had to say about the tour in a press release:

We toured non-stop in 2015 and wanted to cap it off playing a series of all ages shows (which is always our favorite kind of show). We’ve also wanted to do a tour with a charity fundraising component for a long while. We’ve done a few fundraisers this year–for the Ferguson Library and the Baltimore Food Bank–but for this tour, we wanted to do something that had a national impact while still supporting local communities.

The Girls Rock Camp Foundation was the perfect choice. GRCF provides funding and support to the the various Girls Rock organizations around the world, which in turn provide affordable music education to kids. Girls Rock helps level the music business’ playing field by coaching girls to form bands, develop skills in music engineering and technical production, and build their self esteem along the way. We love the work GRCF does, and are proud to support them on this tour–and can’t wait to play with a Girls Rock Boston band at our hometown show! We’re also so lucky that our friend Michael DeForge, one of the best comics writers and illustrators around, has designed a narrative poster series to help benefit GRCF as well.
