I just got an email from the Warehouse, the Dave Matthews Band fan organization, announcing that Dave will be playing a solo acoustic set at Farm Aid this year. This comes at no surprise since Dave is on the Farm Aid board and has played at the benefit concert for the past few years.
What is surprising is the news that this year's Farm Aid will take place at the Tweeter Center at the Waterfront in Camden, New Jersey which is just across the river from Philadelphia. This will be my first time seeing Dave perform solo so it should be a real treat.
The Warehouse ticket request period is currently taking place and will close at noon on July 18th. The public on sale date is Saturday, July 22 at 10am Eastern Time.
From the email:
The mission of Farm Aid is to keep family farmers on their land. Family farmers are our only guarantee for fresh, local food. Our goal is to bring together family farmers and citizens to restore family farm-centered agriculture. Family farmers ensure safe, healthful food, protect natural resources, and strengthen local economies. For more information, please visit www.farmaid.org
