It was a very earthy opening: On the eve of the Democratic National Convention's kick-off, Sheryl Crow, Sugarland and the Dave Matthews Band drew some 8,000 fans and environmental activists to their "Green Sunday."
"What better place to spend this incredible weekend!" said Crow amid the magnificent natural rock formations of the Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside Denver.
Opening the concert, Crow performed, among other tunes, "God Bless This Mess."

Sheryl Crow Offers Free Tunes to Voters
Originally posted 08/21/2008 07:15AM
Sheryl Crow is putting her money – and music – where her mouth is.
As part of Rock the Vote's pre-election push, the singer is giving away a free digital copy of her album Detours to the first 50,000 people who register three friends.
"I hope people wake up and emotionally engage in issues," the 46-year-old Grammy winner, who has a 1-year-old son, Wyatt, told the Associated Press Wednesday.
The album itself has plenty of political undertones, covering subjects like adoption, breast cancer, the war in Iraq and the environment. "It's about the issues that everyone's talking about," she told the wire service. "But there's a lot of hope."
Crow helped found Rock the Vote 18 years ago.

Sheryl Crow Recalls Her Fashion Faux Pas
Originally posted 07/24/2008 04:25PM
Sheryl Crow's simple, laidback style wasn't always so effortless, the singer revealed to a group of college students Wednesday.
"It was a big internal battle for me, between being a vamp and being credible as an artist," Crow informed 25 students at GRAMMY SoundChecks, a program that offers students the opportunity to experience a sound-check rehearsal with an artist.
Crow said her experiments with different looks did not always sit well with record label execs – or fans.
"One time I colored my hair dark and had a meeting at the label and one of the guys looked at me, obviously upset and said, 'You're going to change that back, right?' " she said. "Then when I cut my hair short, my career tanked for about four years!"

Sheryl Crow Sings for the Olympics
Originally posted 07/23/2008 08:00AM
Sheryl Crow is showing her support for this summer's Olympic athletes with a new song, and PEOPLE.com has a first look at the video Crow shot for the track on her farm outside of Nashville.
The Grammy winner's tune, "So Glad We Made It," will appear on the AT&T Team USA soundtrack and during TV broadcasts of the Summer Games. "It's a very uplifting song about having a positive outlook and about really going for it," Crow tells PEOPLE. "It's such a heroic feat to train and give your energy over to something that's so challenging like that. I just love it."
Crow says watching the Olympics is always an emotional experience for her. "I'm a sucker for the vignettes, the back stories," she says. "It's my favorite thing to just sit in front of the TV and cry when each national anthem is played."

Obama's iPod Reflects Diverse Musical Tastes
Originally posted 06/25/2008 11:20AM
When it comes to who's got Barack Obama's ear, the Democratic presidential candidate can turn to a troubadour, a classical cellist, a rocker and a rapper.
"I have pretty eclectic tastes," Obama, revealing the contents of his iPod, tells Rolling Stone for its issue due Friday.
As a Baby Boomer whose musical tastes were formed during the '70s, the 46-year-old – besides leaning toward Bob Dylan, Yo-Yo Ma, Sheryl Crow and Jay-Z – also favors the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Earth, Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder, as well as jazz legends Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Charlie Parker, reports the Associated Press, which obtained a preview of the interview.

Sheryl Crow may have five Grammys to her name – but her son Wyatt has no interest in mom's music.
"Right now, he's not letting me sing anything to him," she told PEOPLE Wednesday in Washington, D.C. "He is so interested in putting the neck of the guitar into his mouth, it's difficult to play."
