Whoa.  :o Emeraldlis, have you never heard of Dave Matthews Band? That surprises me; I thought he was international. Maybe not.

Dave was very stateside

Especially for someone from South Africa.

Dave Matthews was sort of local (Charlottesville VA). 

Dave came out of the same Southern college town circuit as Ryan Adams, Old Crow Medicine Show, Superchunk, Drivin' & Cryin', Black Crowes, Hootie & The Blowfish, R.E.M, and Gran Torino, but then again, Mountain Express, Capsize 7, the Olskies, Dead Cut Tree, Sex Love & Money, Annabel Lee, and I Nine all played the same circuit and no one knows who any of them are.  Chris Daughtry was playing that same circuit before he hit it big on American Idol and skipped some of the club days.

I can still rattle off the list of towns & clubs those guys all played on that loop, because I know a lot of people that were on the road out there.

Just look at his singles list...  outside of a few in Canada, he barely charted outside the US

Huh. I had no idea.

[bobarossa]

Yeah, I thought Dave Matthews was international too.  On the other hand, I have never listened to a Will Smith song and hope to never again.  I listen to rap about as often as I hear my brother say something political I agree with.

Well that explains why I've never heard of him before  ;)  maybe I'm not such a music dunce after all!!!!! You posted some really cool background info as well on him and other bands, I enjoyed reading that  :bd: I see just one of his songs, the space between, made it to 35 in the charts in the UK. I'll be interested to listen to that.... See what I've been missing out on all these years!!!!

Thanks for the info guys :)
