Dave Matthews debuted his #NoDAPL-inspired “Song For Billijo” at the Stand For Standing Rock concert on Sunday at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. The sold-out show benefited Dakota Access Pipeline resistance efforts and featured special guests Neko Case, Graham Nash, Ledisi and Lakota Thunder, as well as headliners Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds. Matthews played several of his biggest hits, including “Satellite,” “Two Step” and “One Sweet World,” saving “Song For Billijo” for his encore. The song was inspired by a kindergarten teacher named Billijo ― a name that Matthews made sure to mention was “pretty cool” ― whom he had met one day at Standing Rock Elementary School. “I met a bunch of kids that were staying at the [Standing Rock] camp that I met at the elementary school,” he told the audience.
