Dave Matthews Performance of Don't Drink the Water at Farm Aid 2020
In the lead-up to the virtual performance of 'Don't Drink the Water' at Farm Aid 2020 on September 26, 2020, Dave Matthews Band had just released their album 'Come Tomorrow' in 2018. This studio effort marked a significant moment, as it was their first new album in six years and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The band's unique blend of rock, jazz, and folk influences was on full display during the performance, which was a poignant reminder of their commitment not just to music, but also to social causes, like the one celebrated at Farm Aid. The event itself, a continuation of a mission started by legends like Willie Nelson, highlights the importance of supporting family farms, connecting Matthews' performance with a cause that resonates deeply with his values.
