On Aug. 9, Australian sensation Courtney Barnett kicked off her touring Here and There Festival at The Midland Theatre in Kansas City, Mo., accompanied by Lucy Dacus and Quinn Christopherson. To complement the current run of collaborative gigs and recognize the immense artistry that went into the events, Barnett has announced she will release a limited number of cassette tapes featuring some of the touring artists from her current run, with all proceeds raised in the sale of the music benefiting reproductive rights. 

With the news of the forthcoming limited cassette release, Barnett also revealed that all funds raised through the sale of the eight-track collection would be donated to the National Network of Abortion Funds and Advocates for Youth. In addition, the musician has also shared the tracking list for the Here and There cassette, which sees her touring guests Julia Jacklin, Bedouine, The Beths, Faye Webster, Sleater-Kinney, Caroline Rose, Hana Vu and Barnette take on a handful of demos and live tunes in the name of charity. 

Barnetts current tour sees the artist welcome the likes of Alvvays, Arooj Aftab, Bartees Strange, Bedouine, Caroline Rose, Chicano Batman, Ethel Cain, Faye Webster, Fred Armisen, Hana Vu, Indigo De Souza, Japanese Breakfast, Julia Jacklin, Leith Ross, Men I Trust, Sleater-Kinney, Snail Mail, The Beths, They Hate Change, Waxahatchee and Wet Leg on stage during the late summer run of shows.
