New York | Gatlin Bros. to Perform at GOP Convention

AP: Gatlin Bros. to Perform at GOP Convention

Contemporary Christian musician Michael W. Smith and country music performers the Gatlin Brothers will entertain delegates at the Republican National Convention in New York City that starts Aug. 30, party officials said.

More than a half-dozen musical acts announced by the party range from country to classical to blues.

Bill Harris, chief executive of the Republican National Convention, described the group as the first to join the convention. Republicans say they will announce more performers in the coming days.

I hope Michele isn’t heartbroken over missing the object of her secret ambition, Michael W. Smith.

(You know, I once got roped into seeing him in a concert at Houston’s Astroworld… a cranky drunk Jew at a contemporary Christian “Rock” concert? Yeah, that went over well, although it was amusing sticking out my leg and tripping the long running chain on glow-stick wearing larvals.)
