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.

In January 2012, Dave Matthews Band reunited with producer Steve Lillywhite, who had produced the group’s first three studio albums, and began work on a new record. Tim Reynolds, Jeff Coffin and Rashawn Ross joined them in the studio. The group debuted many of the new songs during an extensive summer run – DMB’s first tour since 2010. Away From The World was released on September 11, 2012 and the band celebrated with a show at the Hollywood Bowl the following evening. Rolling Stone praised it as the band’s “strongest album in years.” “Mercy,” the first single, was a No. 1 hit at Triple A radio and the video featured contributions from 14,334 fans.

The Live Trax series continued, with Vol. 21 and 22 bowing in 2012. DMB was featured on Jack Johnson and Friends – Best of Kokua Festival and contributed a track to Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International.

DMB will perform at the Live Nation Amphitheatre at the Florida State Fairgrounds on July 17th!
