The Chicks
On Thursday (Oct. 17), the Ally Coalition announced the first round of performers for its 6th annual Talent Show.
Dixie Chicks, Bleachers and Jason Isbell are all set to take the stage for the LGBTQ benefit, along with comedians Mike Birbiglia, Aparna Nancherla, Chris Laker, Jacqueline Novak and Roy Wood Jr.
Ally Coalition founder Jack Antonoff’s former Fun. bandmate Andrew Dost will also perform, while his sister and co-founder Rachel Antonoff will serve as the evening’s host.
The Ally Coalition puts on its Talent Show each year to benefit organizations serving at-risk queer and trans youth. This year’s recipients include New York City’s New Alternatives for LGBTQ Youth, Detroit’s Ruth Ellis Center and Washington D.C.’s Center for Black Equality.
The 2019 Talent Show is scheduled to take place Dec. 12 at New York City’s Town Hall. Tickets can be purchased directly from the venue or via Ticketmaster with more performers expected to be announced as the event draws closer.
