Ani DiFranco, James Taylor to Perform at the Democratic National Convention

Ani DiFranco's Web site is reporting that she'll join James Taylor, Graham Nash, and David Crosby for a performance at the Buell Theater in Denver, Colo., on Aug. 26 as part of the Democratic National Convention. The show will be taped for NPR show Etown, and will be broadcast nationwide. Long an ardent activist and advocate of all manner of social and political issues—including environmental issues and a woman's right to choose—DiFranco has been known to speak fondly of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Tickets to this show, which is sure to be a pretty memorable performance, go on sale Tuesday, Aug. 12.
