DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) – Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders stopped by the Adler Theater in Davenport on Friday, October 23 at an event mixing politics and music.
About 2,400 people felt the burn at Sanders’ “Rockin’ the Bern” event. Sanders took to the stage at the Adler Theater, along with a handful of musicians who he called his “all-star band.” Guitarist Wayne Kramer, Marshall Crenshaw, Iowa’s own Brother Trucker, and other artists performed in front of a full-capacity crowd.
The doors opened at 6:30 p.m. with the concert starting an hour later. Senator Sanders came on stage around 9 p.m. and spoke for about 15 minutes. He touched on subjects such as family values, how he’s the only candidate without the backing of a Super PAC, and how free tuition can strengthen the U.S.
“Our job is to stand together,” the Democratic White House hopeful said to a cheering crowd, “and to fight for an agenda that works for all people and not just a handful.”
