With normal campaigning suspended due to COVID-19, the Biden campaign has hosted an array of digital fundraisers over the past few months. Back in June, Willie Nelson and singer-songwriter Robert Earl Keen appeared at a fundraiser aimed at boosting Biden’s campaign in Texas, which is increasingly looking like it could be a swing state in November.
David Crosby, Sheryl Crow, Rufus Wainwright, Jimmy Buffett and more performed at a digital event for Biden in May, while in July, California Senator Kamala Harris hosted an event in support of Biden featuring a lineup of DJs including Diplo, Jermaine Dupri, D-Nice and Hannah Bronfman.
