Michael Stipe and Jason Isbell Rally Support for Harris-Walz with R.E.M. Classics

The musicians performed at a Pittsburgh event to boost voter turnout ahead of the upcoming election.

Michael Stipe and Jason Isbell performed R.E.M. songs 'The One I Love' and 'Driver 8' at a campaign event for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Pittsburgh.
This marked Stipe's first live performance of these R.E.M. classics since 2008, drawing significant attention to the event.
Doug Emhoff, Vice President Kamala Harris's husband, introduced the duo at the Get Out the Vote concert.
The event is part of a broader effort by musicians to support Harris's presidential campaign, with artists like Stevie Wonder and John Legend also showing their support.
The concert follows recent presidential and vice-presidential debates, as both parties focus on key swing states ahead of the November 5 election.
