Their name says it all: The Dave Matthews Tribute Band. For over 20 years, the band has been performing sold out shows around the world; playing over 2,000 dates in 46 states and 9 countries. Many go to their live shows with reservations, high expectations, and the burning question, “Do these guys sound like the real Dave Matthews Band?” Almost always the answer is, “Yes!”
Since 2004, The DMTB is the only nationally touring tribute to the Dave Matthews Band. This 5-piece ensemble strives to pay homage to their famous counterparts by matching the excitement, energy, intensity and intimacy of a DMB live show.
While most DMB fans never witnessed the real band before they became the platinum-selling artists they are today, The Dave Matthews Tribute Band prides itself on giving audiences this opportunity at intimate venues as well as iconic clubs and outdoor stages around the world.
Based out of Buffalo, NY, the band has gone through many iterations and now tours in classic format featuring Gary Wilkinson on lead vocals and guitar, David Suriani on drums, Tim Sheldon on bass, Gresh Laing on sax, and Abe Dewing on violin.
Beyond mastering the DMB sound and the relentless touring, what separates The Dave Matthews Tribute Band from other cover bands is their attention to detail and to the nuances of DMB and their music. The DMTB aims to transport the listener back in time. That is what makes you come out of one of their shows saying, “Yeah, they really do sound like the real Dave Matthews Band!”
