Dave Matthews Band Tickets Information
Since breaking out onto the music scene in 1991 in Charlottesville, Virginia, Dave Matthews and his Band were nothing less than a hit machine - churning out one chart-topping single after another. Dave Matthews Band shows are always packed. And arguably no modern musical artist gets more radio play across such an eclectic range of stations.
One of the things that makes the Dave Matthews Band’s music sound so unique is its abundant use of saxophone (via LeRoi Moore) and electric violin (via Boyd Tinsely). The other distinguishing characteristics of the group include the band leader's own alcohol and cigarette roughened voice, his percussive, syncopated rhythms, and the raw emotiveness with which he delivers such pained and vulnerable lyrics.
The other powerhouse contributors to the sensation that is the Dave Matthews Band is Stefan Lessard on bass, Carter Beauford on drums, and Butch Taylor on keyboards who, while not an original member of the band, has done a masterful job replacing Peter Griesar since 1993.
And now to add a fresh, new vitality to their sound - and a whole new reason for Dave Matthews Band fans to come back out and hear them again - a new player, Rashawn Ross, has come on board to add his trumpet to the mix. Formerly of Soulive, Ross is now another great reason to get your Dave Matthew Band tickets straightaway.
After two independent albums - Remember Two Things and Recently, an EP - the Dave Matthews Band put out 8 studio albums, all of which received great acclaimed and achieved lasting status in rock and roll's history books. Today's Dave Matthew Band tickets will allow you to hear refreshed and enlivened versions of songs off of "Under the Table and Dremaing", "Crash", "Before These Crowded Streets", "Everyday", "Busted Stuff", "Stand Up" and "Big Whiskey" and the "GrooGrux King".
A concert-lover's band, the Dave Matthews Band is one of those special acts that is even better live than on their recordings, probably one of the key reasons they also released 13 live albums in their time. They have been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards and won 2, in 1997 for Best Rock Vocal performance by a Duo or Group with "So Much to Say" and in 2004 for Best Rock Vocal Performance – Male with “Gravedigger".
Dave Matthews Band’s newest album, titled "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King", was released on June 2, 2009, coinciding with a supporting summer tour, slated to run through early October. Tim Reynolds, Rashawn Ross and Jeff Coffin are scheduled to perform with the band on both the spring and the summer tours.
