Dave Matthews Band Pledges $1M for Sandy Relief

The Dave Matthews Band is giving $1 million to help Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts.

The band announced Wednesday that the Nov. 30 opening show in New Jersey of its winter tour will be a benefit concert. All ticket and merchandise sales will go to the Bama Works Sandy Relief Fund, established at the Community Foundation of New Jersey.

Sandy caused widespread damage and power outages in New Jersey and New York when it hit more than two weeks ago.

The Grammy-winning group says tickets are still on sale for the Nov. 30 show.
