Ben Harper played for President Barack Obama at the University of Wisconsin, The Roots rocked out for him in Philadelphia, and John Legend crooned for him in Columbus, Ohio.
In Las Vegas, singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles will provide the music for a Democratic rally this Friday featuring Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Bareilles, a California native, is best known for her song, "Love Song," which earned her two Grammy nominations in 2009.
First Lady Michelle Obama, who is not expected to attend Friday's rally, invited Bareilles to perform at the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh in 2009 and at the First Family's Easter Egg Roll this year.
When Obama last visited Vegas in July, singer Sarah McLachlan and hometown heroes The Killers welcomed him.
Last evening, I received a phone call from the Nevada Democrat Party inviting me to attend the Obama speech on Friday.
They must be digging the bottom of the barrel to invite me...
Larry: it's called bi-partisanship; look it up.
Mike: come on, you must have the two parties mixed up. Get real.
"They must be digging the bottom of the barrel to invite me."
Hey, YOU said it, not us.
Anyone know the dress code for this evenings Shindig with Harry and Barry?
I know that Harry Reid's supporters will be wearing dirty tea-shirts with dirty slogans...
