Longtime pals
James Taylor
and
Carole King
have been using their platforms for decades to support politicians, so it’s no surprise that they’re involved in the festivities leading up to
Joe Biden
‘s inauguration next week.
Both singer/songwriters will perform at a
concert
called
We the People
, celebrating the impending swearing-in of the president-elect. It’ll air this Sunday, January 17, ahead of January 20, Inauguration Day.
A donation of as little as five bucks
gets you a link to the concert
; larger contributions get you cool merch.
The event will be hosted by
Debra Messing
and
Keegan-Michael Key
. In addition to James and Carole, other artists on the bill include pop/rock band
AJR
,
will.i.am
of
Black Eyed Peas
and the popular group
Fall Out Boy
.
And here’s a fun fact: As Fall Out Boy bassist
Pete Wentz
explains
, Biden is sort of responsible for the band’s existence, as his parents met while they were both working for Biden during his time as a senator in the ’70s.
