Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Solange has put out an open casting call for new band members to join her on an upcoming tour.

Her online site Saint Heron says the singer is looking for "talented instrumentalists and singers" - specifically vocalists, guitarists and keyboardists - to become part of her musical team.

"Right here in New Orleans, we're holding auditions for talented instrumentalists and singers to become part of the musical team that helps Solo bring the music to her fans," the Saint Heron advert says.

"Details for in-person auditions will be disclosed to those who are selected from the initial submission process."

Applicants must be between the ages of 18-36 and located in New Orleans or "the surrounding areas".

Anyone interested needs to email SKAuditions@gmail.com with a three-minute audition video.

Solange released her critically-acclaimed second album A Seat At The Table in September, but has not been on a full headline tour since 2013.

Her new live dates are yet to be confirmed - the only one she is booked in for at the time of writing is an appearance at Okeechobee Music & Arts Fest in Florida from 2-5 March 2017.
