Renowned for its live performances, Dave Matthews Band has sold over 17 million tickets throughout its career. The group was recently named the top-selling touring artist of the decade by Billboard and Pollstar - "The sold-out show...bore all the electricity and fervor of an extra-inning ballgame," said The Boston Globe. "In his lyrics and a voice that's both robust and melancholy, Mr. Matthews ponders the gap between public problems and personal pleasures...Yet the band rarely broods for long; the music stays brisk and upbeat," said The New York Times.
Dave Matthews Band has sold a collective 37 million CDs and DVDs combined. With Big Whiskey's debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in June of 2009, Dave Matthews Band became one of only two groups in chart history to have five consecutive studio albums enter atop the chart. Big Whiskey was among the Top 5 best-selling albums on iTunes in 2009.
