Gretchen Wilson and Josh Gracin were among the performers appearing Monday night (June 19) in Washington at a fundraiser that generated $27 million to be used by Republican candidates in the November elections. President Bush provided a speech for more than 5,000 supporters attending the President's Dinner at the Washington Convention Center. The event raised money for the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

There's a REAL Dixie chick for ya.

Not really a Dixie chick; she's from Illinois, slightly north of the Mason-Dixon line. But hey, what the hell, she makes Natalie Maines look like a sow!

[Moose4]

Get out. She's from Illinois?!? Wow. Well, I did always hear that southern Illinois was a heck of a lot more Southern than half the South nowadays...

Recently saw Gretchen in concert. Amazing. She sang Heart's "Barracuda" near the end of the show and brought the house down.

Cool, NRA1995. Thanks for posting this. Gretchen Wilson and Josh Gracin are two of my favorite performers these days.

Jonny, Emily and mystery, pinging you to news that Gretchen Wilson and Josh Gracin performed at the huge Republican fundraising gala in DC the other day. You might want to spread the word to other American Idol fans.

[Sue Perkick]

Hey Chicks, put that in your 5 disc changer & play it.

[EmilyGeiger]

Thanks for the ping! :) Wow, I'm so happy for Josh. He was one of my favorites that year. He's doing so well.

[Wolfstar]

Josh is one of my favorites too. He's doing extremely well. In fact, he's really the only former AI contestant (other than winners and runners up) who has gone on to a successful recording career.
