Dave Matthews Band, is an American rock band that was formed in Charlottesville, Virginia, U.S. in 1991. The group's lyrical themes focus on topics ranging from God, love, sex, the enjoyment and appreciation of life, to ending racism, and political and anti-war statements. The founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer/backing vocalist Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore. Boyd Tinsley was added to the band as a violinist soon after the band was formed. Moore died suddenly in August 2008 due to complications from injuries sustained in an ATV accident. Grammy Award-winner Jeff Coffin, of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, has since filled Moore's spot as the band's saxophonist. Rashawn Ross and Tim Reynolds have also become full-time touring members of the band. The band's 2009 album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King (the first since Moore's death) debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, giving the band their fifth consecutive number-one debut, making them the second band behind Metallica to do so. Their most recent album, Away from the World, was released in 2012, and also debuted at number one on the Billboard chart. As of 2010, the Dave Matthews Band has sold approximately 30 and 40 million records worldwide.
The band is known for their annual summer-long tours of the US and Europe, featuring lengthy improvisational renditions of their songs, accompanied by an elaborate video and lighting show. This portion of the tour has become a stamp of DMB and has grown with the band since Fenton Williams began in the early 1990s. After twenty consecutive years of touring the band announced that it would take the summer of 2011 off.
The band has won one Grammy Award, and was awarded the NAACP Chairman's Award. According to Julian Bond, "they sell out the largest arenas on Earth, but frequently give their music away."

 Famous People I've Met In Chicago (7 person items)"
I met him at the House of Blues where my friend works. I really don't consider myself a huge fan, but I got to meet him before his show started and he was the nicest, most down-to-earth person."

Day 13 - An underrated band
People seem to either love DMB or hate them. I come down in the middle - Dave Matthews is hard to understand at times and I don't like all of their songs, but some DMB songs I love - like Ants Marching, The Space Between and Satellite, but my favorite is Pig - 'Don't burn the day' are words I try to live by, but to often I throw the day away."

 Phillydude's 30 Days Of Music (30 person items)" Day 5 - A song that reminds you of someone
Dave Matthews was my best friends favorite band
we went to many concerts together -
even though he liked them more than I did, we always had a good time - and DMB grew on me after a while.

 Seen Live by FSG (29 person items)"I saw them right before they got big. Around '93 I think. I was blown away. Took a minute for me to get used to, but watching them play was amazing. "

 Favourite song lyrics. (19 person items)"
Song: Ants Marching
"She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper."
Song: Crash Into Me
"Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you."
Song: Gravedigger
"Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great grandchildren believe
You could live to a 103
A hundred and three is forever when you’re just a little kid
So, Cyrus Jones lived forever
