Over 500 attendees packed the Bootleg’s bar and theatre stages Saturday night for Love – Trumps – Hate: A Benefit for The ACLU and Planned Parenthood.

The impressive lineup included a special acoustic set by Silversun Pickups (who brought the house down from start to finish), YACHT, James Supercave, Nick Waterhouse, Bloodboy, Expo 86 and a DJ set by Grant Owens. Attendees sang along, danced and packed the stages as the bands all echoed a similar message – to be united and positive during these turbulent times.

Love Trumps Hate also had a silent auction with signed memorabilia and tickets from artists such as Mac DeMarco, Fitz & The Tantrums and Young the Giant.
