Breaks and Swells Leads the Lineup at Tonight's Mind Your Own Uterus Benefit Show

by Leilani Polk
There’s a dumpster fire in the White House, and it’s been spreading across the country. The South has been hit hardest, with government leaders passing aggressive anti-abortion laws with the potential to spur legal battles that could go all the way to a conservative-led SCOTUS and challenge Roe v. Wade. It’s a dire time.

Fundraisers like tonight's Mind Your Own Uterus benefit show, to support the Yellowhammer Fund (a reproductive justice organization that provides aid to those seeking care at one of Alabama's three abortion clinics as well as helping with other barriers to access) have never felt more urgent and necessary. Leading the bill is Breaks and Swells, who craft a peppy fusion of horn-escorted R&B, neo soul, disco pop, vintage rock, and funky fresh jazz as driven by the cotton-candy lead belts of Marquetta Miller. Claire George, La Fonda, Motus, and Wolfchild are also performing.

Some media by all the performers below. You can also see Breaks and Swells at Capitol Hill Block Party; they play the Neumos Stage on Sunday at 10:15 pm.
