FIRST RELEASE OFF THE COMPILATION “JESUS AND JOHN WAYNE” BY GOOGLY EYES, JOY OLADOKUN + ALLISON PONTHIER IS OUT NOW
Today, All Things Go proudly announces the second track off its forthcoming charity compilation benefitting The Ally Coalition, as GRAMMY® Award-winning singer and songwriter Maren Morris teams up with longtime collaborator (and Ally Coalition co-founder) Jack Antonoff on “Welcome To The End“. About the song, Morris shares: “Welcome to The End” is a song about the mental sacrifices you’ll make to achieve your dream. It’s not a straight or pretty path to get there, but your own resilience can surprise you. I’m so happy we can devote its release and message to The Ally Coalition as well as my friend and collaborator, Jack Antonoff’s studio initiative to help integrate recording studios into LGBTQ+ youth shelters.”
It’s the latest stunning track – following googly eyes, Joy Oladokun + Allison Ponthier’s poignant “Jesus and John Wayne” last month – off of All Things Go’s forthcoming charity compilation benefitting the Ally Coalition. Other artists on the compilation include: Kesha, Orville Peck, Medium Build, Maude Latour, EMEI, Tayla Parx, Hudson Mohawke and more to be announced. Arriving this fall around the 2026 edition of the festival, the compilation celebrates 10 years of All Things Go and will be available digitally and on limited edition vinyl, with full tracklist and preorder information to be announced soon.
Founded in 2013 by Jack Antonoff and fashion designer Rachel Antonoff, The Ally Coalition is a nonprofit committed to bettering the lives of LGBTQ+ youth across the country. By working with artists on tours, campaigns, and events, TAC provides support for non-profit organizations around the world.
“Jesus and John Wayne” is a bold, soul-searching anthem about reclaiming faith from the grip of politics and exclusion, inspired by the NYT Bestselling novel by Kristin Kobes Du Mez. Written by googly eyes joined by Joy Oladokun and Allison Ponthier, it reimagines spirituality as a source of healing, belonging, and radical love, especially for those the church has pushed aside. The song has clearly struck a chord with listeners already, finding consistent virality on socials ahead of its hotly anticipated release.
All Things Go is celebrating over a decade of festivals, originating in the Washington, D.C. area before expanding to New York in 2024, and will host its inaugural Toronto 2025 edition this October. Known for its intentional focus on female and non-binary-led lineups, the festival reflects All Things Go’s ongoing commitment to cultivating diverse, inclusive spaces within the music community. This year’s ATG Festival editions at Columbia, MD’s Merriweather Post Pavilion and New York’s Forest Hills Stadium see female and LGBTQ+ artists at the forefront and headlining again, with Doechii, Lucy Dacus, Clairo, Kesha, MARINA, The Mariás, Lola Young, etc performing on September 26, 27, and 28. The week after, Reneé Rapp, Kacey Musgraves, Remi Wolf, and Role Model will headline Toronto 2025 on October 4 and 5th.
In 2023, All Things Go launched a partnership with The Ally Coalition (TAC) to further support LGBTQ+ youth through on-site programming and artist-driven engagement across its festival platforms.

After completing her RSVP Redux tour and several festivals to finish the year, Maren returned in 2025 to release her fourth album D R E A M S I C L E on May 9. Introduced by first singles “carry me through” and “bed no breakfast”, this album is Maren staying true to the core of who she is, and the acceptance, release, and the reclamation of her strength and her light.
