Dave Matthews Band in Madison

Dave Matthews Band brings its improvisational live show to Madison. Formed in Charlottesville, Virginia, DMB grew from a trio into a full band by adding bassist Stefan Lessard and violinist Boyd Tinsley, and built a reputation as a jam band whose sets never sound quite the same twice. Fans can expect songs reworked in the moment, with the band leaning into the loose, exploratory approach that has been a fixture of its concerts for decades.

The group’s catalogue runs deep, from the six-times-platinum Under the Table and Dreaming to later albums such as Come Tomorrow. Founding members Dave Matthews, Lessard, and Carter Beauford continue to lead the lineup. The band has sold more than 25 million concert tickets and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
