Willie Nelson Endorses James Talarico as Yo La Tengo Plans Benefit Show

James Talarico, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Texas, has received endorsements from musician Willie Nelson and the band Yo La Tengo.

Nelson urged voters in a campaign video to support Talarico.

Yo La Tengo will play a benefit show on October 27 at The Long Time in Austin.

Each ticket requires a $100 donation to Talarico’s campaign, and attendance will be capped at 500 people.

The musicians have supported political causes before, including Democratic campaigns.

Talarico is running ahead of the November midterm elections, and other musicians who have backed him include the Chicks and Don Henley.

The benefit show will raise money for his campaign; the sources give no further details about what happens next.
