Gap and Musician Matt White Call on Angelenos to Voice What's Important to Them This Election Year With Free Customizable Gap 'Vote for ___' T-Shirts

On Tuesday, September 9th at Gap at the Grove, Angelenos Can Fill In the Blank with Their Opinions While Enjoying an Acoustic Set by Matt White

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- With one of the most important elections for our nation on the horizon, Gap and singer/songwriter Matt White invite Angelenos to voice their passions by customizing a free Gap "Vote for ___" t-shirt on Tuesday, September 9. Whether it's Lauren Conrad or Heidi Montag, USC or UCLA, everyone is invited to fill in the blank at the Gap at the Grove, while enjoying an acoustic set by Matt White, one of Rolling Stone's "10 Artists to Watch."

The in-store event is part of Gap's "Vote" initiative, which gives people a platform to express their ideas and opinions via the iconic Gap white t- shirt.

Earlier this month, Matt, who debuted at No. 4 on Billboard's New Artist Chart and is in the middle of a late summer tour promoting his new single "Love" off his debut Geffen release Best Days, created his own t-shirt, "Vote for Love," which he'll wear throughout the tour. His t-shirt can also be seen in his upcoming video "Love," which was recently filmed inside a New York City public bus and debuts this fall on video outlets.

"My friends at Gap have created this really simple shirt that lets you express what's important to you," said Matt White. "Music is how I express myself so I wrote 'Vote for Love' on my shirt. I'm really interested to see all of the words and visual expressions the people of Los Angeles will use to voice what they're passionate about."

Los Angeles is the sixth stop on Matt's tour in support of Gap's "Vote" initiative. As he travels across the U.S., Matt's "Vote for Love" message will be featured on the exterior of his tour bus, helping spread his message and encourage people to express what they vote for.
