Associated Press reports that James Taylor will play five upcoming free concerts in North Carolina in support of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Taylor has concerts scheduled in Charlotte, Asheville, Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Wilmington beginning this Sunday.
Taylor was raised in Chapel Hill (home of the Tar Heels), and has at times used his celebrity to highlight political candidates in the state. The Grammy winner will encourage Obama supporters to hit the polls early in North Carolina.
Obama has been investing heavily in the state to try and swing a state that hasn’t voted for a Democratic president since 1976. Republican rival John McCain has been increasing his presence to defend the state. 32 years is a long drought for the Democrats, though. They’re due.
Look out McCain! It’s ‘Sweet baby James’ to the rescue for Barack Obama.
