CO-SEN: Willie Nelson playing at virtual fundraiser for Hickenlooper
Willie Nelson is among artists set to play at a virtual fundraiser for Colorado Democratic Senate candidate John Hickenlooper, who is locked in a close race with Sen. Cory Gardner (R).
The virtual concert, deemed “Hick-a-palooza,” will be held next Wednesday for donors backing the former Colorado governor's Senate bid.
Other artists participating include Bonnie Raitt, Dave Matthews, Nathaniel Rateliff, Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers, Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, Michael Franti, Spirit of Grace, The Reminders and Raquel Garcia, according to an event description on the online fundraising platform ActBlue.
"While we might not be able to go to music festivals this year, on September 30th John Hickenlooper will bring together a variety of musical acts for a one-time virtual concert exclusively for campaign volunteers and supporters,” organizers of the fundraiser wrote in a statement, according to The Denver Post.
Gardner is one of the most vulnerable GOP senators up for reelection this year, though a poll released earlier this month found a tightening race, with Hickenlooper leading Gardner by 5 points – 51 percent to 46 percent – the narrowest lead yet for the Democrat.

did a very good job, given CO joined WA in being the first to legalize recreational pot. Hick wasn't a fan, but he was determined to do his best to make it work. I can respect that. Willy is the perfect person to remind them. 
(yeah, I know, fracking, fracking, fracking... ) I'll take the good and will run with it.
