Rueben's Ramblings

The Dave Matthews Band (otherwise known as DMD) is an American band formed in Virginia in 1990 by founding members Dave Matthews (lead singer and guitar), Stefan Lessard (bass), Boyd Tinsley (violin), Carter Beauford (backing vocals and drums) and the late LeRoi Moore (saxophone) [Moore passed away in 2008 due to injuries sustained in an ATV accident].

The band did their first in-studio demons early in 1991 and then made their first public appearance a few months later. During the band’s early years they performed at fraternity functions and at popular clubs in Charlottesville.

It was two years later that DMB released its first album called “Remember Two Things,” which debuted on college charts as the highest independent entry. The band continued to tour while their fan based grew.
