Just hours before taking the stage at Madison Square Garden, Dave Matthews Band revealed that saxophonist Jeff Coffin has tested positive for COVID-19.
“Thankfully, Jeff is fully vaccinated and his symptoms are very mild,” reads an official announcement. “We will miss Jeff and wish him a quick recovery.”
DMB will be joined by Dumpstaphunk for the Nov. 12 and 13 shows and – presumably – with an open slot onstage, there will be plenty of musical cross-pollination.
