"Summer means two things in America: It's hot, and the Dave Matthews Band are on tour," said Rolling Stone. That's been true for over a decade, as the band has crisscrossed the nation more than Forrest Gump, building one of the largest loyal underground followings since the Grateful Dead with their solid, heavy-hitting mix of folk, rock, jazz, funk and jam-friendly improvisational sections. This summer's tour showcases Dave Matthews Band classics as well as first glimpses at the band's up-and-coming studio album, its first since 2005's celebrated Stand Up.
