Colorado grown band performs at Obama's grassroots Democratic National Convention

Numerous musicians will perform at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colo. August 24-28. Music artists such as Ani DiFranco, Sheryl Crow, Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder and Yonder Mountain String Band will perform. The band, from Nederland, Colo., will grace the stage the final day at INVESCO Field at Mile High Stadium.

Their performance will open for Democratic hopeful Barack Obama's acceptance speech for the nomination for Democratic candidate for president of the United States. Obama is cultivating a grassroots campaign similar to musician platforms that will perform at the convention.

An anticipated 75,000 people are expected to attend the acceptance event, which was moved to INVESCO Field at Obama's request, according to a Madison House Publicity press release. The convention is the first to be held in Denver, Colo. in one hundred years.
