The music events surrounding the Democratic National Convention in August are starting to be revealed, including a planned Melissa Etheridge show at the Fillmore Auditorium.
Etheridge released her tour schedule Monday morning, including an Aug. 26 show billed as “Human Rights Campaign Event at the Fillmore.” The Human Rights Campaign is a national gay advocacy group. The DNC will be in Denver Aug. 25-28 at the Pepsi Center.
Etheridge has long been an activist in Democratic causes, including contributing the song I Need to Wake Up included in Al Gore’s documentary An Inconvenient Truth. The song went on to win the Oscar for best original song. She also introduced Gore at the Live Earth concerts designed to raise awareness of global warming. On-sale information has not been released.
