DMB Playing VFC Finale

By Waldo Jaquith
MoveOn.org has announced that Dave Matthews Band will be performing at the October 11 finale concert of the Vote for Change series, along with many other artists from the tour: Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Dixie Chicks, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, John Fogerty, John Mellencamp, Jurassic 5, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Pearl Jam and R.E.M. The final show will be held at the MCI Cener, in Washington D.C., fittingly enough. As announced some weeks ago, DMB and other involved artists will break into small groups and stage simultaneous tours in electoral swing states, promoting Democratic senator John Kerry, the challenger to Republican president George W. Bush. Tickets to the final show will go on sale on September 18, through Ticketmaster.
