Two prominent Alabama-based musical acts are helping Democrat Doug Jones get out the vote for Tuesday's U.S. Senate election against Republican Roy Moore.
Singer Jason Isbell performed a free show for Jones' campaign in Huntsville Saturday night, and two members of St. Paul & the Broken Bones did a show in Birmingham.
Jones took the stage during the Birmingham show, telling the crowd: "Now is the time to make the winds of change blow through Alabama." Jones said Moore is divisive and would be a "disaster" for Alabama businesses.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick joined Jones on stage, saying the Alabama race is important to the whole nation.
Isbell played in a mid-sized music hall, while lead singer Paul Janeway and a bandmate from St. Paul & the Broken Bones performed at Birmingham's city auditorium. The hall seats 6,000 people for shows, but only the floor was full.
