The incredible Dave Matthews was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. As a child he moved around America with his family, including his father, a physicist for IBM.

Word spread quickly through America, Achieving a devoted following. After the success of touring America, Dave Matthews Band released their debut album "Under The Table And Dreaming" which reached 11 on the Billboard 200.

Following the success of his bands second album "Crash" which debuted at No.2, they hosted a live performance at New York Madison square Garden, which sold out in under 3 hours. Their 2005 album, Stand Up, topped the Billboard charts in just its first week of sales!

“As the band went through its catalog that began in 1994, one consistency remained: the attention to detail that the seven-piece band brings to each song it plays. This intricacy began from the very first song played, with Matthews beginning the show with “You Never Know,” a song that weaves in and out of different time signatures, showing tight drum patterns from Carter Beauford, a trend that would continue for the rest of the night."
