About Dave Matthews
David John Matthews, popularly known as Dave Matthews,
(born January 9, 1967 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is the
lead vocalist and guitarist from Dave Matthews Band (DMB).
Dave Matthews Early Life
At the age of two, Matthews and his devoutly Quaker family immigrated
to Westchester County, New York, where his physicist father
went to work for IBM. Then, in the early 1970s, he moved to
Cambridge, England before returning to New Jersey, where his
father died of Hodgkins disease, in 1977. Dave took piano lessons
as a child before picking up the guitar at age nine. The family
moved back to South Africa in 1980, where Matthews went to a
few different schools.
In 1986 Matthews relocated to Charlottesville,
Virginia, where his parents had lived before he was born. Though
he also logged time back in South Africa and in Amsterdam, it
was in Charlottesville that he became part of the local music
community. His first professional musical performance was at
a modern dance performance by the Miki Liszt Dance Company,
singing "Sensitive Feelings," composed by John D'earth
and Dawn Thompson. In 1990 he hatched the idea to form his own
band.
Formation of DMB
Matthews had originally envisioned someone else singing his
songs. Yet after writing his first few songs, including "The
Song that Jane Likes" and "Recently", he began
to consider starting his own band. Matthews formed The Dave
Matthews Band in early 1991 with Boyd Tinsley, Leroi Moore,
Carter Beauford, Stefan Lessard, and Peter Greisar while he
was working as a bartender at Miller's in Charlottesville. The
band's first gig was on May 11, 1991, at a private rooftop party
held by Lydia Condor at the South Street Warehouse in downtown
Charlottesville.
Other Ventures for Dave Matthews
In the late 1990s, Dave Matthews was a common featured guest
at Rolling Stones concerts. He helped DMB manager Coran Capshaw
found ATO Records in 2000, and he remains one of the principals
of that label. Matthews released a solo album in late 2003,
Some Devil, which went platinum; its single, "Gravedigger,"
won a Grammy Award in 2004. To support the album, Matthews toured
with a group of musicians, most of them performed on Some Devil,
under the name Dave Matthews & Friends. This side project
of Matthews continues to be active when DMB is on hiatus.
Since 2001, Matthews has been one of the directors
of Farm Aid. Matthews owns 1,260 acres of farmland near Scottsville,
Virginia where he provides organic vegetables, flowers, and
herbs to people who sign up for his community-supported agriculture
program. Close to the farm, Matthews maintains the four acre
Blenheim Vineyards which utilizes a gravity flow winemaking
technique.
Dave Matthews has also acted in two feature films.
He played Will Coleman in the 2003 adaptation of the novel Where
the Red Fern Grows. He also portrayed the character Otis in
the 2005 film Because of Winn-Dixie, which was based on the
novel of the same name.
Matthews and his wife, Ashley Harper, have twin
daughters born in 2001, Stella Busina and Grace Anne. The family
splits their time between Seattle, Washington and Charlottesville.
