Help a stranded cyclist, they might be a rock star

Help a stranded cyclist, they might be a rock star.
Emily Kraus and her boyfriend Joe Proffitt were driving down a back road near Hersey, Pennsylvania to a Dave Mathews Band concert, when they swerved past a rider with a flat tire. Joe quickly recognized the cyclist as “Dave.”
Emily was unconvinced. Thousands were waiting to hear Dave Mathews perform that night, why would he be on the side of the road? But after a few seconds the couple turned around to help the rider.
Sure enough, walking on the side of the road was the multi-platinum recording artist and Emily’s favorite singer Dave Mathews. Turns out, the musician decided to take a quick ride before his show, but punctured and was without his cellphone.
Mathews thanked the couple for the lift by inviting them to dinner, giving them front-row seats and signing their tickets. Mathews gave Kraus a shout out during his show, weaving his experience in the opening of the song “Granny.”
