Election Travel: Early Voting Means More Time for Rocking

September 30, 2008 at 11:00 AM | 1 Comment

If it's fall in an election year, the music world can count on one thing: A steady stream of alternative rockers trying to rock the vote in the Dems' direction--and a few country music stars getting excited about the GOP.

Whatever side of the aisle you fall on politically, it's always a boon for music fans, and Election 2008 has a twist--with so many states now offering early voting options, the poll festivities are getting started earlier than ever.

Ohio Democrats are taking advantage with a "Vote Early, Rock Late" concert scheduled for October 16 in Cincinnati. Local-boys-turned-Brooklyn-hipsters The National are headlining the event, which also includes indie stalwarts The Breeders. Volunteers will shuttle voters to the open-early polls in between sets.
