As it relates to music, the rally will feature The Roots kicking things off at 12:00pm with a 40-minute performance. Following an official welcome by Stewart and Colbert and readings from Sam Waterston (the guy from Law and Order), past Colbert Report performers and current collaborators Mavis Staples and Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy will for play for 10 minutes. Then, around 2:15, country star Sheryl Crow will receive her own five minutes in the spotlight.
Better yet, there are several unannounced musical guests also included on the schedule (cough cough Bruce cough cough), so stay tuned for surprises. If you can’t attend the rally in person, you can watch it live online or on Comedy Central beginning at noon EST.
