Both Kurt Vile and Dave Matthews shared their support for Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman as the Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor takes on Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz this Election Day, November 8. Vile issued an email supporting Fetterman, while Matthews will play a Get Out The Vote Rally later this month in Pittsburgh.
“It’s Kurt Vile. You might know me as Philadelphia’s Constant Hitmaker, I am a PROUD Philadelphia native. Heck, Mayor Nutter declared August 28 ‘Kurt Vile Day’ in Philadelphia,” penned Kurt Vile in an email shared by Pitchfork. “We want the best for our kids, and I know Fettterman will fight for a better future for my family.”
Fetterman will appear with Dave Matthews at the Get Out The Vote Rally on Wednesday, October 26 at Pittsburgh’s Stage AE. Tickets are free and available by RSVPing via a Mobilize page. “I am honored to have Dave Matthews joining us in Pittsburgh for a rally to kick off our get out the vote efforts,” Fetterman wrote as pointed out by Brooklyn Vegan. “We’re excited to have Dave perform for all of our fans in Pittsburgh to thank everyone for their hard work to get to this point, and emphasize the stakes of this race for people across Pennsylvania. I can promise you don’t want to miss this.”

Hi [Recipient]!
It’s Kurt Vile. You might know me as Philadelphia’s Constant Hitmaker, I am a PROUD Philadelphia native. Heck, Mayor Nutter declared August 28 ‘Kurt Vile Day’ in Philadelphia.
I’m on tour of the U.S. now with my band the Violators, so I’ll keep this quick.
I’m reaching out today about my guy, John Fetterman. The truth is that Fetterman has been fighting for Pennsylvania probably longer than I’ve been messing around with a guitar.
My wife and I have two young daughters we’re raising right here in PA. We want the best for our kids, and I know Fettterman will fight for a better future for my family.
The Fetterman campaign is also the only candidate in PA running for a U.S. Senate seat supporting marijuana legalization.
Will you stand with me, Kurt Vile, by making a donation of $5 to John Fetterman’s campaign today? Sending John even just a little support today would be huge.
Thanks,
Kurt Vile
