This is a great biography written all about Dave Matthews Band published first in 1999 and then a second time with up to date material in 2004, and is 169 pages long. This biography is all about how Dave Matthews Band first became a band, and all met each other. It tells the story of Dave Matthew’s life growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa, then moving to the United States and starting the band in Charlottesville, Virginia. It tells of how the band members all got started in Dave Matthews band, and each member’s involvement. This biography also goes through all of the albums the band ever recorded, and the process that they had to go through to become one of the biggest known bands with one of the biggest fan-bases.
My opinion of this biography is that it is a great factual read of how Dave Matthews Band became to be what they are today. It is complete with interviews with the band members, a discography, and gigography. However, if the reader does not like Dave Matthews Band, as weird as that sounds, they may not like or enjoy reading this biography. I give this book five stars.
