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.JUST THREE years ago, the youthful quintet BR5-49 (right) were still playing continuous four-hour sets - without toilet breaks - in Nashville bars. By reviving the good-time honky-tonk sound and infusing it with 1990s attitude, BR5-49 are on the other side of the country coin from the nose-jobs and wigs on display at the recent CMA Awards. This short visit to the UK (with a London gig tomorrow night at the Shepherd's Bush Empire) plugs their latest album, Big Backyard Beat Show.

Unlike most dance outfits, Red Snapper believe in playing totally live without the aid of computers, samplers or other such gadgetry. Acclaimed many times over as one of the country's most exciting live acts, they are on the road to promote their excellent and eclectic new album, Making Bones.
