Dave at Farm Aid

It's that time of year when we announce that Dave Matthews will be performing at Farm Aid, an organization whose board he sits on. This year's performance will be held at the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ on September 30 and will, as always, benefit American farmers. (Though an investigation last year revealed that not a whole lot of money ends up going to any farmers; on the Farm Aid website, though, it's reported that "eighty cents of every Farm Aid dollar goes to programs supporting family farmers.") Tickets will go on sale on July 22. Thanks to Bryan for the tip.
