On Saturday, Aug. 3, Dave Matthews made his way out to East Hampton, NY for the 10th annual Apollo in the Hamptons benefit, which aims to “support the Apollo’s artistic, educational, and outreach programs, while building on the Theater’s rich history as a cultural and economic anchor to Harlem, and as a nurturer of emerging talent.”

According to a press release, Matthews was one of many performers at the swanky fundraiser, which also included the The Isley Brothers, Maggie Rogers, Patti LaBelle, Pharrell Williams, Jamie Foxx, Jon Bon Jovi, Joseph Simmons from Run – DMC and the Black Eyed Peas.

The Roots acted as the house band, playing behind Matthews as he performed three tunes, namely “Everyday,” Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” and the title track of his newest LP “Come Tomorrow.”
