HeadCount, a not-for-profit organization made to encourage American voter registration. This year it will once again make an appearance at all U.S. Dave Matthews Band shows. In 2004, HeadCount registered 12,161 voters - a record high - and expects to beat that this summer, especially considering the mass amount of attention the race has gotten.
As reported from a source close to a band, Tim Reynolds has made changes to his tour dates with TR3 to be able to tour with the Dave Matthews Band for the whole summer. Tim is usually known to play only with Dave Matthews, while him playing with the band has become a rarity recently. At first it was thought that he would only play with them for a couple of shows, however that has been disproven. This gives fans yet another reason to anticipate a great tour, especially with an upcoming album bound to released soon.
On Thursday the Dave Matthews Band announced that they will once again head on the road this summer with shows in the U.S. and Canada. The 51 show tour starts in late May and ends early September.
The same day DMB announced that they are working with Rob Cavallo on the new album, not Steve Lillywhite as many had hoped for.
The tour dates will be in the forum calendar once our forum gets back up and running (yes, it’s annoying us too).
For those of you (most of you, because of limited seating) who won’t be able to make it to the concert tomorrow and on Thursday, both shows can be seen online live from the AT&T Blue Room site. The show starts at ~7pm est. (that’s 4pm for those on the west coast) both nights., and Robert Randolph & the Family Band will kick things off. Link below:
Thanks to AT&T for the tip.
According to TicketNews.com, the Dave Matthews Band have jumped up from 5th to 4th spot over last week for the most requested concert event in the U.S. They are behind Stevie Wonder, Van Halen, and Hannah Montana [coming in first, well, of course 
].
DMB started off their fairly short tour down-under with a show in Melbourne, having a similar setlist as what many shows had at the start of last summer’s tour.
The tour continues until the 5th, with 3 shows in between. After that, tour season resumes on the 23rd with the European leg, in Dublin, Ireland.
