Dave
Matthews Band – comprising Carter Beauford (drums), Jeff Coffin
(saxophone), Stefan Lessard (bass), Dave Matthews (vocals, guitar), Tim
Reynolds (guitar), Rashawn Ross (trumpet) and Boyd Tinsley (violin) –has
sold a collective 37 million CDs and DVDs combined. The group ranked as
the biggest touring act worldwide of the past decade and has sold over 18
million tickets since its inception.
Dave Matthews Band will be supported by music legend Vusi
Mahlasela. Vusi has shared the stage with
Sting, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Josh Groban, Paul Simon, Ray LaMontange, among
many others. One of his proudest moments was in 2010 when he helped ring
in the World Cup at Orlando Stadium in Soweto at the FIFA Kickoff Concert.
To date, Vusi has released seven studio albums on Sony Records and is
signed to Dave Matthews' ATO Records in North America; his hit songs include Silang
Mabele, When You Come Back, and Say Africa.
Dave
Matthews Band is touring in support of its latest album, Away From The World, which Rolling Stone named as one of the Top 50 Albums of
2012 while The New York Times’ Jon Pareles
noted: “The songs have grown-up concerns, from lifelong love to the entire
sweep of human history, in settings that range from sparse intimacy to
intricate folk-and-funk excursions.” Produced by Steve Lillywhite, the record
entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, making Dave Matthews Band the first group in chart
history to have six consecutive studio albums debut atop the chart.
Born in Johannesburg, Dave Matthews went to high school at St Stithians
College but moved to New York in 1986. He has never performed in South Africa
and this will be the first opportunity to watch Dave Matthews Band live in Cape
Town and Johannesburg. Tickets go on sale at 9am from bigconcerts.co.za
and Computicket.
