Matthew West Performs at Restoring Unity

Matthew West performed his hit song “Do Something” for the Restoring Unity rally — an event that attracted more than 20,000.

The song carries a strong message about the importance of making a positive personal impact on the world.

“People living in poverty, children sold into slavery — the thought disgusted me,” the song’s lyrics read, in part. “So, I shook my fist at heaven, said, ‘God, why don’t You do something?’ He said, ‘I did, I created you.’”

Matthew West's "Do Something" Is Theme Song for Glenn Beck Event

On Saturday, August 29, Matthew West will appear in Birmingham, Alabama in front of thousands during the Restoring Unity event to perform his hit single "Do Something." Restoring Unity is a two-day event helmed by Glenn Beck which supports his non-profit organization, Mercury One.

When West appeared on Beck's radio show earlier this summer to talk about his new album, Live Forever, the two made an instant connection. And during their visit, Beck soon realized that Matthew West was the artist and songwriter behind "Do Something," the very song that Beck wanted as the theme for his Mercury One event, Restoring Unity. Leading up to August 29, "Do Something" can be heard every day on Glenn Beck's TV show. (To find out more about this event, visit Now.MercuryOne.org.)

With his latest album, West continues his mission to tell a story of a different kind with his music-to transform listeners' stories into life-changing songs.

In between festival dates, last weekend West appeared at Chicago's famed Wrigley Field for the Cubs' home game to sing the National Anthem. He also performed "God Bless America" in front of the packed stadium and went on to watch his favorite team win against the San Francisco Giants.
