Awarded for services to American music at the national museum of American history. Along with Gloria and Emilio Estefan and Susan tedeschi. He made an acceptant speech but the link I got doesn’t work and googling for the last hour hasn’t produced any results except the same generic posts about him winning it. Would love to see the speech as probably one of his first speeches (non foo) since T. I’ll update post if I find a video. This the link I got that doesn’t work for me. https://youtu.be/H-zdl_KOu00

That was from six years ago - see description
Someone on Reddit said it was played on a local radio station but again, a link they found afterwards didn't lead to it. They should have recorded it on their phone! They said it was sweet...
Dave performed at least one song at post-ceremony celebrations - 'Times Like These'
My bad. News reports I saw were dated this month so thought it was current. First saw on Reddit so probably a bot karma farming. Apologies
