About Dave Matthews Band
You know when you’ve heard the Dave Matthews Band; it’s a fusion of jammy, jazzy pop and roots music that blend together to create something unique and unforgettable. With Dave Matthews’ searing, smoky vocals guiding each song, this outfit doesn’t play by the rules. Go to a Dave Matthews Band concert and you may find yourself treated to one of their now-legendary, sprawling jam sessions that can take you from one song and into another via a troubadour’s trail of New Orleans funk. Every show is different and, despite the band’s fondness for going off-piste, they are musically tighter than two coats of paint.
This winter, the band is touring to the UK, playing a total of eight gigs in England and Ireland. At Gigantic we’re delighted be able to offer you the chance to buy Dave Matthews Band tickets and allow you to enjoy what promises to be one of the hottest musical events of the year!
The band’s music is often described as eclectic, although with its feet firmly planted in the Americana. However, when you take a look at Dave’s background, it’s easy to understand: having lived in South Africa, the UK and the USA, you can hear the range of influences in his work. Where other bands might favour a guitar solo, the Dave Matthews Band will send a fiddle to the forefront or let the sultry squeal of a saxophone take the music in another direction.
While Dave Matthews himself might take the spotlight, the musicians that he plays with have definitely earned their stripes. Bassist, Stefan Lessard, joined the band when he was just 16. At the beginning of his career, he would often have to sneak in through the back door of the clubs they were playing in, due to age restrictions. Carter Anthony Beauford is a gifted drummer who was ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the top ten greatest drummers of all time. Jeff Coffin is the relative ‘new boy’, stepping in to play saxophone after the untimely death of LeRoi Moore.
Head to a Dave Matthews Band concert and you’ll be treated to some of your favourite numbers, such as ‘The Space Between’, ‘Crush’ and ‘Stay (Wasting Time’. However, don’t expect facsimiles of the studio recordings; the band like to try and make each song sound new, every time they play.
