O+ will feature Grammy award-winning American Roots musician Allison Russell and her band at its upcoming O+ 365 benefit concert on May 24th at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, NY. Ticket sales will provide direct support to The O+ Exchange Clinic, O+’s new year-round exchange-based clinic, which provides health and wellness services to O+ alumni.

Allison Russell, recognized for her soulful vocals, vulnerable lyrics, creative instrumental arrangements, as well as her activism, is an eight-time Grammy nominee with a 2024 Grammy Award win for Best American Roots Performance for her single “Eva Was Black.” Since going solo in 2021, the recognition of her unique style and power has garnered an array of accolades, including the 2022 Americana Music Association’s Album of the Year Award for “Outside Child,” Canadian and International Folk Music Awards, UK Americana Awards, and Juno Awards.

The O+ 365 benefit supports the organization’s efforts to address the extraordinary need for ongoing health care access for artists, many of whom are un/under-insured and don’t have consistent access to care. Last year O+ made a transformative shift: the organization moved from providing 3-days of exchange-based health and wellness services to artists who contributed to its annual festival to now providing 365-days of care for all O+ festival alumni. In addition, the Clinic secured its operating license from the State of New York.
