Dave Matthews gets a mammoth 18-page interview and photo treatment in our 28th issue. The singer-songwriter describes why he’s now playing Rockbridge guitars, the influence that Joan Armatrading had on his playing and much more. During the photo shoot, we asked Matthews to play a tune for our cameras. He chose to play this cover of John Denver’s “Take Me to Tomorrow,” which he recently performed on ATO Records’ forthcoming compilation The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver.
