About The Band:
Born David John Matthews in a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa on January 9, 1967. Matthews moved with his family in 1986 to Charlottesville, Virginia. It was here where he began working as a bartender at Miller's. Miller's was popular with the local musicians, and eventually Dave met saxophonist Leroi Moore.Together they assembled a group in 1990. The group called Dave Matthews Band (they never really got around to giving themselves a "real" name) consists of:
Dave Matthews, Carter Beauford, Boyd Tinsley, Stefan Lessard, and Leroi Moore.
The Dave Matthews Band had released an independent live album in 1993, called Remember Two Things, they signed a record deal with RCA/BMG. Soon after the release of this album, the band was put on the road where they continued to gain fans. Their popularity eventually grew as they released more albums, such as Crash and Before These Crowed Streets. During the end of 1996 and early 1997, Dave himself played an acoustic tour with his friend Tim Reynolds, which proved to be very popular as well as rewarding. For certain this one of a kind band with their diverse and soulful music truly proved themselves by gaining awards, praise, and most importantly a huge legion of loyal fans.
