Dave Matthews Band (also known by the initials DMB) is a United States-based rock band, originally formed in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1991, by singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews. Other band members include bassist Stefan Lessard, violinist Boyd Tinsley, drummer Carter Beauford, and late saxophonist, LeRoi Moore. From 1998 to May 2008, the band performed most of their shows with keyboardist Butch Taylor who, while not officially named a member of the band, was a fixture on stage. For 2006, 2007, and 2008 the band added trumpet player Rashawn Ross — most noted as the live trumpet player for Soulive — to the stage. It is not yet known if his presence will be permanent. Beauford, Ross, and Tinsley also perform backing vocals.

According to RIAA, Dave Matthews Band has sold over 31 million units in the US alone, putting them in the Top 100 highest selling music acts of all time.
