5 Best Moments of the 2024 Democratic National Convention: Stevie Wonder, Country Music & More


Here are the five best moments of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, from Stevie Wonder to Beyoncé.

On Monday night (Aug. 19), Grammy-nominated country star Mickey Guyton delivered a gorgeous rendition of her unity anthem “All American,” while Jason Isbell performed the moving “Something More Than Free,” the title track from his 2015 LP. Across the convention’s four days, both Metro and the band opted for a mixture of classics ( Kool & The Gang ‘s “Celebrate” and Rufus ‘ “Tell Me Something Good”) and contemporary smashes (Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” and Mark Ronson& Bruno Mars ‘ “Uptown Funk!”) to keep the crowd’s spirits high and continue to hammer the campaign’s themes of freedom and joy. Of course, the real playlist flex came courtesy of DJ Cassidy, who helped emcee a particularly lively roll call that featured a surprise cameo from Lil Jon and state-defining songs from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Chappell Roan, Aretha Franklin and Noah Kahan.
