Information
With over thirteen Platinum releases and one of the most die-hard fan bases in recent memory, the Dave Matthews Band has come a long way since their Charlottesville, Virginia formation in 1991. South-African born Dave Matthews, along with Stefan Lessard, Leroi Moor, Boyd Tinsley, and Carter Beauford brought their mixture of rock, folk, jazz and world music to the local scene in the early 90's, and didn't take long to rocket to fame and establish themselves as one of the hardest working touring groups in the business.
Throughout the 90's the band built a tremendous amount of word-of-mouth popularity by consistently touring college campuses across the U.S. The band's first major label album, "Under The Table and Dreaming", sold over four million copies, beginning a consistent run of Platinum studio releases that has continued for over a decade. The band did not stop there, though. In an effort to fight bootlegged copies of their sought-after live shows, they started to release recordings of their best shows, starting with "Live at Red Rocks", which went double platinum. The band has since released over fifteen live albums.
The Dave Matthews Band has continually built an incredibly strong following to their live shows that are loaded with constantly changing set lists, seemingly endless jam sessions, improvised solos, and a cavalcade of guest stars including Carlos Santana, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Tim Reynolds, and The Allman Brothers, just to name a handful. DMB is one of the few bands out there which will surprise you, each and every show.
Beginning with an appearance at Live Earth, the Dave Matthews Band Summer Tour promises to be another exquisite chapter in the story of this band. Tickets are available for the all the shows on the tour!
