Artist Bio
Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day and My Chemical Romance), Dave Matthews Band deliver their first material in four years with their seventh studio album, ‘Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King’.
The first single to be taken from the album, “Funny The Way It Is” has been praised by New York Magazine as "pure muscle — it’s got a bulletproof groove and the type of bounce that has marked the band all along” while Rolling Stone hailed ‘Big Whiskey’ as the group’s “heaviest album yet, both musically and emotionally”.
With its celebratory spirit and lyrical ruminations on fragile mortality, the new album pays tribute to the band’s saxophonist, LeRoi Moore, and features some of his last recordings. Moore passed away in the summer of 2008, halfway through the making of the album.
The remaining founding members – Carter Beauford (Drums), Stefan Lessard (Bass), Dave Matthews (Vocals, Guitar) and Boyd Tinsley (Violin) – regrouped at a New Orleans, LA studio in early 2009 to complete the album.
Dave Matthews Band, named the top-drawing American band in the world by Billboard, have sold over 33 million records worldwide and have had 4 records hit #1 on the charts.
