See Michael Stipe and Jason Isbell Perform R.E.M. Classics at Harris-Walz Pittsburgh Event


Michael Stipe and Jason Isbell performed a set of music together, including R.E.M. classics, Friday at a Harris-Walz event in Pittsburgh.

Duo plays "The One I Love" and "Driver 8" - Stipe's first time performing the songs live since 2008 - and a pair of Isbell tracks at campaign event. Jason Isbell and Michael Stipe — in his first public live appearance in five years — performed a set of music together Friday at a Pittsburgh fundraiser for the Harris-Walz campaign, with the duo playing R.E.M. “It’s been awhile since I’ve sung these songs, 16 years in fact, but I’m really happy to be here with Jason and with the soon-to-be-ever First Gentleman of the United States of America,” Stipe, wearing a camo Harris-Walz hat, said.
