Sheryl Crow, David Crosby, Rufus Wainwright, Jimmy Buffett, and Joe Walsh are performing at a virtual fundraiser for Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, as Variety notes. The event, called “Rock Out on a Night In,” takes place tomorrow night (May 28) at 8 p.m. Eastern. It’s hosted by Whoopi Goldberg and Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois.
In a social media post, Rufus Wainwright wrote, “I met Joe Biden years ago at the first LGBTQ reception since the Clinton administration hosted by Obama at the White House. It was an incredibly moving event. I met a lesbian couple who were in tears. They said all their lives they have been protesting outside of the White House and now they were invited in. I was impressed with Joe Biden’s sincerity, energy, enthusiasm and embrace of the LGBTQ community.” Find Wainwright’s note below.
