Fresh from winning five Grammies and a stellar TV performance, Foo Fighters are performing a fundraiser  for President Obama in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Thursday in San Francisco, the president’s supporters will hear a performance by Soundgarden’s frontman, Chris Cornell.

And on Friday, Seattle indie buzz band The Head and the Heart will perform at a fundraiser in Bellevue.

President Obama is holding eight fundraisers during a three-day trip to Wisconsin, California and Washington state to benefit the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising account for the president’s re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
