Founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, violinist Boyd Tinsley, drummer Carter Beauford, and saxophonist LeRoi Moore. In August 2008, LeRoi Moore died due to complications from an ATV accident. Grammy Award-winner Jeff Coffin[1], of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, has since filled Moore's spot as the band's saxophonist. Rashawn Ross and Tim Reynolds have also become full time touring members of the band. With musicians who each have roots in differing genres, including jazz, classical, soul, rock, bluegrass, and hip-hop, the band has come together to create an eclectic sound which has earned them fans from a variety of quarters. The band is known for their annual summer-long tours of the US and Europe, featuring lengthy improvisational renditions of their songs, accompanied by elaborate video and lighting.[2][3] The band's newest album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King debuted at number one on Billboard 200, giving the band their fifth consecutive number one debut.[4] The band is a multi-Grammy Award winner, and was awarded the NAACP Chairman's Award. According to Julian Bond, "they sell out the largest arenas on Earth, but frequently give their music away."[5][6] Contents [hide] 1 History 1.1 Early years 1.2 Mid-to-late nineties 1.3 Early 2000s 1.4 Solo Albums (2003) 1.5 Live Trax & Stand Up (2004-2005) 1.6 2006-2007 1.7 2008 and the death of LeRoi Moore 1.8 Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King (2009) 2 Taping and bootlegs 3 Discography 3.1 Studio albums 3.2 Live albums 3.3 Compilation albums 4 Awards and nominations 5 Philanthropic efforts 6 References 7 External links :thumb_yellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
