STEVIE, STREISAND AMONG INAUGURAL INVITEES: Plus, Jonas Bros and possibly Miley Cyrus to sing at Jan. 19 kids event at Verizon Center.(January 6, 2009)
*Fox411 columnist Roger Freidman has been looking into the number of celebrities who have been formally invited to perform at one of the 10 official Inaugural balls. Friedman wrote Monday: Sources tell me that it was only this weekend that President-elect Barack Obama’s Inaugural committee started sending inquiries to potential musical guests. In the mix: Obama stalwarts Stevie Wonder, Barbra Streisand, and Bruce Springsteen, I am told, were each asked to play at specific events around Washington on January 20th. Believe it or not, the Jonas Brothers and possibly Miley Cyrus were also invited to play at a children’s party on January 19th at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
Meanwhile, Inauguration night should also see the Grateful Dead get back together for a major "official" party.
But plenty of Obama supporting musicians have not been invited to do anything yet, and the word is they’re not so happy. One star who hasn’t heard a word is Billy Joel, who performed a major fundraiser with Springsteen in New York last fall. So far, nada.
