Tomorrow, Jeff and band-mates John Stirratt and Pat Sansone head to Madison, Wisconsin, where they will play a free, ticketed Concert for Change in support of the Obama campaign at the Union Theater. Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold and Representative Tammy Baldwin will speak at the noon event, after which Representative Baldwin will lead audience members to the polls to take advantage of the state's early voting system and can cast their ballots.
