Moore, who supports Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois), will sing on Wednesday, August 27. The DNC called him a "distinguished singer" who has "established himself as a leader among communities in the Great Plains region, where he brings a focus to raising awareness of health disparities."

The convention takes place August 25-28 in Denver.
