The Charlottesville, VA mainstay formed in 1991 after vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews brought together several local musicians to record a demo of a few songs he had written. A mix of acoustic rock, jazz, funk, and a little pop, DMB built up a dedicated following through grassroots efforts and a keen focus on college campuses and eventually became renowned for their live performances.
