The performance of the Dave Matthew band at the Obama rally stands cancelled and the details are not given out. Last month it was announced that the Dave Matthews band is going to perform in the rally for Barack Obama in Ohio University on 2nd March. The announcement of this program was made at the student Senate meeting of Ohio University by the Vice President of the Student body. The Senators were assembled there for the impeachment of the Vice President. It has been reported that Kent Smith, the Vice President of the student body made an announcement about the rally and the performance by Dave Matthews before his impeachment. However, he said that the contract is not yet signed by the university members and the production company in Chicago.
The rally which was to be held at the Convocation Center of Ohio University got cancelled due to unknown reason. It was already announced that Obama will not be present for this rally. The program boasted about the presence of Dave Matthews’s band as well as the presence of a prominent speaker. Dave Matthews gave his last performance in a college in the November of 2007 at the Military Academy of U.S. The Obama Rally itself has been officially cancelled now, to the disappointment of the Dave fans.

The 5th annual Kokura Festival that has roped in popular musical bands like Dave Matthews Band and Tim Reynolds, has received such an overwhelming response from the fans that the tickets for the gala event has been sold out within minutes of it going for sale. The organizers say that the local people are very much excited at the prospect of seeing Dave Matthews Band perform in their hometown for the first time. The Kokua festival, which is in its fifth year, has been getting bigger and bigger as every year passes by and the popularity of this annual Hawaiian event is doubled by the announcement of Dave Matthews Band’s performance. This Kokua festival is conducted to educate the local people to know more about the environment they live in and the ways in which they can protect their environment and the organizers seek the support of musical bands like Dave Matthews Band to try to reach out to a larger audience about the protection of the environment.

Dave Matthews Band is no stranger to all these promotional activities, as they have done several shows and concerts in spreading global awareness on various environmental aspects all over the world. The fans that have purchased tickets for the show are sure to get full value for their money and will return home enriched with the knowledge of environmental protection.

 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.

 Dave Matthews turned 41 today.When he was two years old, his family moved from Johannesburg, South Africa to Yorktown Heights. The family headed back to Johannesburg after John died. After all the family  returned to the States to live in Virginia after Dave finished high school.Hopefully as the DM in DMB celebrates the big 4-1, he won’t “eat too much (or) drink too much. Too Much!”

Tim Reynolds is happy to be a part of the East Coast urban sprawl yet again.The former Charlottesville resident is taking a breather from his renowned acoustic shows. Reynolds spent a chunk of his adolescence hopping from town to town in the Midwest. He settled in Charlottesville and called it his physical and musical home for 17 years before moving to Santa Fe, N.M. Reynolds now resides on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It was in Charlottesville in the 1980s where Reynolds first sparked TR3. Under the same name, a new and powerful TR3 returns in January 2008 (featuring bassist Mick Vaughn and drummer Dan Martier), ready to bring some carefully crafted electricity to East Coast venues. The trio will play at Richmond’s Capital Ale House tomorrow and at Charlottesville’s Satellite Ballroom on Saturday.

Stefan will play an all star benefit at the Pickle Barrel Nightclub in Killington. Some of tickets are available for now. Plus the musician  will be joined on stage by Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies
Adam Gardner of Guster. This  trio has been playing together as the band Yukon Kornelius. Special guest is Eric Fawcett from N.E.R.D. The event will be hosted by actor Jason Biggs. So if you have a chance to see it, go for it.

Two of the more high-profile acts that weren’t selling their music as ringtones have given in. The operator scored exclusive access to a handful of Dave Matthews Band’s ringtones made from live recordings, but will later include studio tracks. Van Halen, meanwhile, is making its most popular songs available as ringtones to all wireless operators, but agreed to give AT&T exclusive versions of those same songs for a limited time. AT&T director of music and personalization products Mark Nagel says the Dave Matthews deal was a result of simply communicating the demand.

After a year of anticipation, the Dave Matthews song, “The Fly” is finally available on the web. Dave Matthews wrote “The Fly” as a contribution to the ATO Pictures film “Joshua,” which won an Excellence in Cinematography award at the Sundance Film Festival.

It is exactly South Africa which inspired Dave Matthews so much for music. However, Dave performed in this country quite rarely, and, perhaps, to the surprise of many, the guitarist’s final performance in 2007 took place in Gauteng, South Africa.  Is Dave planning to return back to South Africa? Will he perform there more often? Who knows… but it is quite typical for many stars to return back to the homeland after long years on the foreign land.

It is already the second time this year when for his live release, Dave Matthews rejoins his eponymous band for a “Green” concert in Atlanta. As usual, Matthews and his legendary band bring the energy of their live performance to over 50,000 fans. The concert features such loved singles as ‘So Much to Say’ and ‘Too Much,’ as well as Dave’s rarely played ‘#40′
- a short, romantic, usually-improvised ballad.
