Dave Matthews Band Pledges Proceeds from NC Concert to Fight Trans Bathroom Bill
Breitbart ^ | 5/24/16 | Daniel Nussbaum

Dave Matthews Band will donate the proceeds from their upcoming concert in Charlotte to five organizations fighting North Carolina’s recently enacted transgender bathroom law.

Unlike other artists who have cancelled concerts in the state in opposition to the law, Dave Matthews Band will go ahead with its scheduled May 27 show at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte.

In a brief statement on their website, the band announced that a portion of proceeds from the performance would go to five organizations working to fight the law: the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Lambda Legal, ACLU of North Carolina, Equality NC and Time Out Youth.

The band selected the beneficiary organizations with the assistance of NC Needs You, an organization that encourages artists and musicians to honor previously scheduled engagements in North Carolina.

“the band announced that a portion of proceeds from the performance would go to five organizations working to fight the law: the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Lambda Legal, ACLU of North Carolina, Equality NC and Time Out Youth.”

So if you pay to go to their concert, these organizations are what you will be supporting.

His music sucks anyway. It’s a mishmash of confused garbage. That’s the best way to describe Dave Mathews and his band.

Get over it, already. The Dave Mathews “family” were shocked and saddened, ok? It upset them that they dumped 800 lbs of human waste over 100 people in a boat. What were they doing in a boat under the bridge anyway?

Sounds suspicious. Haters.

Same here. I like Breitbart but this issue is a PITA.

Yeah...I’d like to hear these clowns speak out against that stuff when they are in these countries, too!

I’m so glad SCOTUS made gay marriage a civil right because now we don’t have to hear about gay marriage 24/7. /s

Dave Matthews has some of the most loyal fans I’ve ever met,

What did one Dave Matthews fan say to the other when the drugs wore off?

Man, this band sucks.

Lol. Wrong place at the wrong time. But is only the finest royal poop and pee and they should appreciate it being dumped on them.
