You don't need to travel all the way to Washington D.C. to partake in the festivities of President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration. You don't even need to leave Main Street.

At The Sidecar at 333 Main St. in Park City on Tuesday, the Summit County Democrats are having an inauguration party that costs $50 to get in (with the proceeds benefiting the dems).

Besides featuring red-hot Kevin Rudolf, who will be performing at Harry O's later in the week, Art Alexakis of Everclear will perform in an acoustic set.

Everclear has seen its better days, but the Portland, Oregon band has regrouped (with different members) and has posted a new song, "Jesus Was a Democrat," on its Web site. In an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune, Alexakis said he'll probably play that new song as well as other hits from the band's past.

He said he and his fiancee will spend three days in Park City during Sundance, but the singer, nearing 50, will not be living it up. He has a 14-month-old at home, and while of course there is love, there isn't much rest. "We're not going to be partying," he said. "We'll be sleeping."

Alexakis has been a huge Obama supporter since the singer was an Oregon delegate at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was at a breakfast caucus meeting when a guy sat next to him and introduced himself as Barry. He and Art had a short but meaningful conversation. A day or two later, Alexakis watched the same guy deliver a keynote address and it gave him "chills."
