Tickets will be available starting on February 13, 2008. They run from fifty up to one hundred twenty five dollars. Bring the whole family and enjoy the music and entertainment and help a great cause as well. They will even have some environment friendly measures on hand in April.

People are really looking forward to seeing all the new products for the environment this year. It just proves that there are many ideas out there on how to save the environment and this concert will help support some of them. The money taken in for the entrance fee will also help developers come up with new ideas for the world in recycling and reusing.

On January 24, Dave Matthews hit forty one years old. His family moved to the states from South Africa and they settled in Yorktown Heights, Virginia. He says he hopes not to eat or drink too much, but he will be having a party of some sort to mark the occasion.

Dave Matthews has decided to take a break from performing his acoustic show to collaborate with Tim Reynolds. Reynolds who lives in the Outer Banks of North Carolina is a longtime friend of Matthews. Reynolds came up with the band TR3 in the early 80’s and is now trying to start it up again. They have one show they are doing in Richmond, Virginia to see how people like them.

“The Fly” is a famous song for Matthews. People have been waiting for up to a year to see its release onto a CD. It was first heard in the movie “Joshua.” “Joshua also won for best Cinematography at the Sundance Film Festival.

Matthews is also returning to his first home in Africa for some concerts in Johannesburg and in Gauteng. He says he has been planning his return for many years and is excited to finally be able to do it.

 Dave Matthews is another country boy from the great town of Charlottesville, Virginia who found his spot in the music industry by never letting go of his own special style of lyrics and music. Beginning life in South Africa as a young boy and coming to the United States to complete high school has given Dave Matthews a unique story to tell. This seems to be the common denominator for some of the great musical stars to come along. Among the many accomplishments to be praised, there is one that seems to be at the top of the list. It seems, as odd as it may sound, that many of the top cell phone providers have been in the running for this star’s unique brand of songs to use as their special ringtones. AT&T has come out on top of the rest in being allowed to feature Dave Matthews to their customers. This provider will be coming out with a few Dave Matthews ringtones for customers to use. Each of the ringtones will not be synthetically altered as is common practice and will be a live recorded audio from the singer himself.
