DMB May Join Kerry Tour

By Waldo Jaquith
Dave Matthews Band, who recently played a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, may be joining an all-star tour to support the Massachusetts senator. The Los Angeles Times reports that the band is "expected to join the lineup," which currently consists of Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, R.E.M., and Pearl Jam. The series of shows will target the twenty-some swing states throughout the nation, running through October, in a group effort to expel President George Bush from the White House. Other artists expected to perform include the Dixie Chicks and Ani DiFranco, among others. Presumably, more details will become available in the coming weeks.
