Events planned for October 18 in Lake Worth Beach and October 23 in Fort Lauderdale to platform local and statewide progressive candidates and turn out early voters
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Lauderdale, FL – October 13, 2026 – Local songwriter and flautist Laura Sue Wilansky (aka Laura Sue, the Silver Nightingale) has long championed progressive causes and candidates, and this midterm election cycle is no different. She is organizing two Angie Nixon Rocks! events, along with a little help from her friends, and the events will be held in Lake Worth Beach and Fort Lauderdale. All the musicians and artists involved are donating their performances ahead of the midterm election.
“I helped national organization Face the Music produce shows all over Florida, and observing their model of identifying progressive candidates running in winnable races who can benefit from support has been very useful and enlightening,” said Wilansky. “They successfully use music shows to recruit new volunteers for these campaigns, and they’ve made a significant difference in tight races all over the country. Working with Face the Music inspired me to do this for Angie.”
The first show is scheduled for this Sunday, October 18, 2026, at The Bamboo Room (25 South J Street, Lake Worth Beach, FL 33460), noon to 3:30 p.m., featuring Earthlings Muse (Jae Deryn Moshen and Pearl Pop), Jim Wurster, Suni Storm, Steve Minotti, The Hellabaloo, Noam Brown, and Laura Sue, the Silver Nightingale.
The second show will be held at the United Church of Christ Fort Lauderdale (2501 NE 30th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33306), on Friday, October 23, 2026, from 7 to 10:30 p.m in the Multipurpose Room. Musical acts include The Copays Quartet (and Sons!), Alexa Lash, Rod MacDonald, Piper and Nightingale, Jamie Friend and more to be announced.
Both events will also feature fun art activities, poetry, and short campaign speeches, and both are free and open to the public of all ages. Wilansky and company are coordinating with the statewide Artists for Angie initiative, a fully grassroots artists initiative working with artists all over the state.
