Free Show in the ATL, Record Day Live Trax 1, and Dave Silkscreens
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 11:37am on Thursday, Mar 7th, 2013It's a busy day in the Dave Matthews Band news world. Shall we cut to the chase? I thought so..
DMB is playing a free show in Atlanta on April 7, according to the NCAA Official Site and pretty much everyone in the greater Atlanta area that already knew this was coming. DMB, Sting, and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are the scheduled acts in accordance with the NCAA Basketball Final Four. The official name of the event is Capital One Jam Fest, which is a pun on music, basketball and what credit card interest rates do to you (couldn't resist). It seems that you just need to "show up" to see the show, but stay tuned for more info.
Record Store Day 2013 features Live Trax Vol. 1 according to the Wax Poetic blog, which is known for breaking news on vinyl releases. If you've forgotten what Record Store Day is, we'll forgive you. Basically, a bunch of big bands release vinyls (that's a real live record played on a record player, that were common back when us old folk were kids) and they are sold at (mostly) independent record stores. Please note that according to the blog, there are only 500 printed, so these will sell out quickly. You might want to check with your local independent record store that is participating in the Record Store Day 2013 event if they are getting in a copy before you traverse all over your neck-of-the-way looking for it.
You may be aware that Dave Matthews is quite the little artist. In addition to his works on the covers of Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King and Away From The World, Dave doodles, and occasionally will do a larger piece of work. He recently got together with Beezy Bailey, a fellow South African, and produced 24 silkscreen paintings. The opening event for the display was March 5 in New York at the Robert Miller Gallery. The Wall Street Journal talked with Dave about his work, and slipped in a music question too. And in case you're confused by Dave's explanation of Little Thing, he most likely meant set-lyrics, as opposed to an instrumental.
