PORTLAND (AP) – Grammy Award winner Bonnie Raitt will be performing a concert this summer for Tom Allen’s Senate campaign.

The singer and musician will play at Portland’s Merrill Auditorium on Aug. 11.

In a statement released by Allen’s campaign, Raitt is quoted as saying she supports Allen’s stance on the war in Iraq, renewable and alternative energy sources, and climate change.

Allen is seeking to unseat Republican incumbent Susan Collins.

Tickets go on sale Friday through Allen’s Web site.
