Canadian indie rock duo Tegan and Sara
will headline an upcoming benefit concert for the Human Rights
Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest LGBT rights advocate.
The July 25th event will
take place at The Paramount Hotel in Manhattan.
Actress Amanda Leigh Dunn (The Real
L Word) will play host.
Thirty-two-year-old
identical twin sisters Tegan Rain Quin and Sara Keirsten Quin
collectively make up Tegan & Sara. After their performance, the
openly gay twins will stick around for a Q&A.
“Immediately
following the Q&A, the house lights will dim and the venue will
be taken over with beats blasting from some of New York's hottest
DJs,” HRC said in announcing the concert.
Tegan and Sara are
currently promoting Heartthrob, their seventh studio album
which was released in January.
Event
tickets cost $60 and proceeds benefit HRC.
