The band is hooking everyone up that participates with a free live album, with SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 downloadable album. SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 features live tracks from Dave Matthews Band as well as supporting acts on tour including Avett Brothers, Gomez, Hill Country Revue, Switchfoot, Umphrey’s McGee, and Yonder Mountain String Band. Here’s how to get it, “Look for the SO MUCH TO SAVE volunteers and recycling bins at concerts in the venue parking lots, and help keep the lots clean. Recycle at one of the SO MUCH TO SAVE stations or with a volunteer and receive a card with a unique code. Use the code to download the SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 album—for free! If you have already recycled at a show or are not able to make it to a show – you can still download the album by pledging to recycle and save energy. Visit the SO MUCH TO SAVE website for complete information on DMB’s SO MUCH TO SAVE Bama Green Project and to download the free album!
SO MUCH TO SAVE volunteers are needed at the shows – email volunteer@musicmatters.net and include your name and the show date(s)!”

In an exciting two-part contest, the Official Dave Matthews Band site is tackling social networking. It asks those who enter to start a Facebook Event for a Advanced Big Whiskey Listening Party between May 23 and May 25. The top 100 events with the most members will then win an advanced (but watermarked) copy of the newest Dave Matthews Band album, ‘Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,’ thus making the 100 possible events a reality. Then, those who are hosting are encouraged to record their party, and the host of the party with the most people attending, best theme, and most originality will then “win a trip to meet Dave Matthews and see DMB perform live from the front row at Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, FL on Saturday, August 15th!” Entries are due May 12, so there isn’t much time, and if you are entering, good luck!

We over here at dmbfansite.org would like to wish you all Happy Holidays! Even though we didn’t get a new album under our trees this year, we got the next best thing – a set date for its release! Enjoy your time off everybody, while it lasts 
Hundreds of people have already become “followers” of Dave on the social site known as Twitters, where users can post updates that can be read by almost anyone. This isn’t the first instance of a band member has done something like this; Stefan has a Myspace and has been writing blogs and responding to fans for quite some time now.
Even though with the death of LeRoi Moore, it seemed as if the tour would never come to this point, it indeed has. And with that, Jake of Antsmarching.org has written a great review of the tour; its ups and downs (the latter of which is lacking), and how everyone has dealt with the loss of one of the band’s foundation.

Nancies.org, the decade-old pivotal fan site of Dave Matthews Band history and winner of the VH1 Best Fan-Site Award in 2001 is closing down. The forum is undergoing archival, while the rest of the site will not be updated any further.
The site was once the place to be, however a migration of users to newer sites with more features brought its slow demise. We would like to wish Waldo, Shep and all the other guys the best of luck in the future, and to thank them for what they did in alterting all the DMB fan sites of today, ours included.
The Dave Matthews Band have announced that for shows where Paulo Nutini has been replaced by Alejandro Roscovedo. This switch affects 6 tour dates, June 9/10/13/14/17/18.
