With the primary in California coming up shortly, presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is doing his part to raise youth awareness before the big vote. Sanders has announced a “Get Out The Vote” concert in San Francisco, coming up next Monday, June 6th, and the show has a fun lineup with a number of great groups.
Headlining the event will be Dave Matthews, who will head to the West Coast event for a brief getaway from the Dave Matthews Band summer tour. The group is scheduled to perform in Holmdel, NJ on June 7th.
Dave Matthews has been a spoken supporter of Sanders in the past, saying:
I can stand up and say, “If I was President, I would make everybody’s boobs bigger, and I would make men stronger, and everybody would be happy, and everybody would be fed, and the oceans would be clean, and everyone would have jobs. And that’s what I’ll do if I’m President.” Wait, do you shit money? What are you fucking talking about? There’s no way you can do anything but damage our children’s future by claiming you can spend more money to make us stronger, make us better, make us happier, make the whole world a better, more peaceful place, and cut taxes and have less government. ‘Cause you’re just talking about something that’s fucking impossible.
Also performing at the voter rally is Fishbone, Fantastic Negrito, and John Dexter Stewart, with special guest talks from Dr. Cornel West, Shailene Woodley and Danny Glover. The event is free to the public and you can RSVP here.
