As most DMB fans know, the Dave Matthews Band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in early 1991, when vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews decided to put some songs he had written on tape. Instead of simply recording himself with a guitar, he opted to bring in some instrumental help to give his musical ideas more depth. Dave found assistance in drummer Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who were both accomplished jazz musicians in the local Charlottesville music scene. Based on the recommendation of distinguished local jazz guru John D’earth, 16-year-old musical prodigy Stefan Lessard came on board to play bass. Completing the band was the talented and classically trained violinist, Boyd Tinsley. The rest is music history – from Remember Two Things to Big Whiskey!

The band is known for their annual summer-long, nationwide tours featuring lengthy improvisational renditions of their songs and this summer is no exception. The band’s new album, Big Whiskey & The Groogrux King, was released this past June to critical acclaim.

With great talent, inspirational charity work and an ever-growing fan base, Dave Matthews continues his quiet dominance of the music world.
