Although the 76-year-old world famous primatologist might not come immediately to mind when you’re listening to Dave Matthews, the two shared the stage at DAR Constitution Hall. Dave, assisted by his trusty guitar maestro Tim Reynolds, put on a acoustic show benefiting the Jane Goodall Institute in front of a enthusiastic crowd in Washington D.C. Goodall gave a short speech to the audience about contributing to her fight against pollution. Songs like “Bartender” and “Save Me” highlighted the over two-hour long intimate concert. In a press conference, Dave expressed his disappointment with politicians’ overall efforts toward protecting the environment. When asked if he would ever consider going into politics himself, the 43-year-old musician said his “closet full of skeletons” would make that impossible. DMB will travel to Hartford, CT for their pair of shows at the Comcast Theater.
