DAVE MATTHEWS BAND

The Dave Matthews Band's relentless touring through the '90s has earned them the well-deserved reputation of putting on knockout shows. The combination of jazz, rock, pop, folk and blues with a loose-limbed groove and winding, innovative jams makes this legendary band infectious and fresh. Never-before released tracks are now available of a live performance this fall.

The South-African vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews formed the Dave Matthews band in Virginia in the early '90s. Featuring Matthews, Stefan Lessard, Leroi Moor, Boyd Tinsley, and Carter Beauford, the group's music presents a more pop-oriented version of The Grateful Dead, crossed with the worldbeat explorations of Paul Simon and Sting. The band built up a strong word-of-mouth following in the early '90s by touring the country constantly, concentrating on college campuses. In addition to amassing a sizable following, their self-released album Remember Two Things sold well for an independent release; soon, they were attracting the attention of majors. Signing with RCA, the Dave Matthews Band released their major-label debut, Under the Table and Dreaming, in the fall of 1994. By spring of 1995, the record had launched the hit single "What Would You Say" and sold over a million copies. Continues: http://www.ubl.com/ubl_artist.asp?artistid=1426&p_id=P++++19222

Dave Matthews Band recently wrapped up their 60-date U.S. spring/summer tour. Taking a break for the remainder of this year, the band will head into the studio in early 2000 to record their fourth album for RCA.
