The band, which formed at U.Va. and still calls Charlottesville home, will headline the grand opening with shows on Sept. 22 and 23. It will be the band's first hometown appearance since its Scott Stadium show in April 2001. The band is recording an album and will likely play new music throughout the summer tour.

In between, the trek has produced some of the most critically acclaimed concerts of the Irish band's career, showcasing innovative production amid brilliant songs in stadiums and arenas around the world.

The reality is that such a statement could not be farther from the truth. Like most other fans, I find myself being that much more critical when it's time to hear those twelve new songs for the first time. We have very high expectations from the band, not only because of the amount of money we shell out to see them every year, but because we know how much potential they have to amaze us. This past May, DMB released Stand Up, which was...

It had simply walked onstage Wednesday at the sold-out Blue Cross Arena at the Community War Memorial. Matthews, in his casual T-shirt, ambled from one end of the stage to the other, acknowledging the adoration with merely a smile and a wave. It's crazy, crazy, that this is the biggest American rock machine of the day. Those 11,600 sang along with many of the songs, yet most folks who don't follow the band closely...

The rest of the time the mild-mannered road warrior and his excellent band create tight grooves and musical moments -- three hours of them on Thursday a For the young party animals packing the arena, the opening notes of anything were cause to wave cellphones connected to best friends stuck at home. For others, the lengthy stretches of polished, cautious improvisation and generic melodicism proved less... (more) http://davematthewsband.blogdrive.com/comments?id=1
