Bright Eyes To Perform For Barack Obama

Bright Eyes is to perform for a second time at a rally organised on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

The performance will take place at Slowdown in Nebraska on February 7th – two days before the state holds its Democractic caucus.

M. Ward will join Bright Eyes, whose frontman Conor Oberst also played at an Obama rally in Iowa last month.

Tickets for the concert are free to those who pledge their support to the democratic candidate, who is currently head-to-head with Hilary Clinton in the race to win the democratic nomination for the US presidential elections.

As the momentum behind the ongoing presidential primaries has grown, so has the support for the participating politicians from various musicians.

Obama so far has received the public backing of Pete Wentz, while US rapper Snoop Dogg said on Monday that America was ready for a black president.
