Centre College, which is hosting the V.P debate Thursday in Danville, Ky., along with the AARP are throwing a festival to celebrate the event.

When Vice President Joe Biden and Paul Ryan have finished up their remarks, The Marshall Tucker Band will perform at the festival. “Hopefully (the candidates) will come over and at least walk through (the debate festival area),” Doug Gray, founding member of Marshall Tucker Band and lead vocals/tambourine, told The Advocate-Messenger. “We’d like to let them sing a little with us — if they think they’re strong enough.”
