The Chicks were the latest country band to perform at the convention this year, following Jason Isbell and Mickey Guyton on Monday and Maren Morris on Wednesday. Overall, the convention was very musical, from the surprisingly upbeat delegate roll call (with DJ Cassidy playing a different song for each state) to the surprise appearance of Lil Jon.
Among the Democratic National Convention attendees were Stevie Wonder, who performed his hit song “Higher Ground,” and John Legend and Shaila E, who performed a cover of Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” on Wednesday. James Taylor was scheduled to close the first night with a performance of Carole King’s “You’ve Got a Friend” on Monday, but the concert was eventually canceled due to time constraints.
