Newsom Hosts Unconventional '08 Rock Concert

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will host a free indie-rock concert in Denver during convention.

Critically aware of what the young adult vote means to his base as he considers a run for governor in 2010, Newsom will sponsor honoring Young Democrats of America event in Denver during the Democratic National Convention.

It will feature an all-star line-up including Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Cold War Kids, Silversun Pickups, Nada Surf, DJ Z-Trip and members of Death Cab for Cutie, Rilo Kiley and She and Him, as well as a special appearance by comedienne and actress Sarah Silverman and other surprise guests.

Meet Joanna Newsom

Meet Joanna Newsom, a harpist, pianist, singer, songwriter and also the 2nd cousin (once removed) of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Newsom's work has become prominent on the indie rock scene, and her profile has risen, in part due to a number of live shows and appearances on The Jimmy Kimmel Show on ABC.

Both Newsom's harp playing and vocal style are unconventional… and so is she.

• Dating a musician known as Smog

• Favorite animal is a Seahorse, but she considers herself a land animal… so she would rather be a horse, but only a wild horse… not one which is owned - Whoa Whoa Whoa lil' doggy.

• Collaboartions include Cannabis Sativa, Galerina, and Psilocybe.

My best guess is she votes Green Party and Rainbow Coalition too. Check out her polymetric interview.
