DMB played their first 2 shows of 2024 this past weekend at Dolby Live in Las Vegas and then headlining the Extra Innings Festival in Tempe, Arizona. The band gave us much to talk about on the stage, but on this episode we are taking you backstage for a unique experience had by friend of the pod, Clint Wells. Clint (guitarist for Morgan Wade) joined us to recap both shows, and tell us all about his "kid in a candy store" moment on stage, backstage, and side stage at Innings Fest. Trust us when we say you're just going to want to listen to this one. Thanks, as always, to Clint for coming on the podcast, and thanks to the DMB crew for being so kind and accommodating to him!

Another incredible weekend with Dave & Tim in Mexico is in the books, and you'd be hard pressed to find someone that had more to celebrate than this week's guest, friend of the pod Alex Sohani. Alex and his lovely wife were recently married and spent their honeymoon in Cancun, enjoyed 4 nights of great music, and on Sunday they celebrated Alex's 100th show! From the performances on the stage, to the parties in the pool, and even singing in the rain; we bring the full D&T Mexico experience to you! Thanks again to Alex, we are grateful that he was kind enough to join us and break it all down. Instagram Twitter Facebook

In Part 2 of our interview with Steve Lillywhite, we wanted to explore some topics that may not have been as widely discussed as some of the ones we touched on in Part 1. Not only do we take a deeper dive into the last DMB record he has produced, Away From the World (2012), we also venture into the Phish waters and have Steve reminisce on his time producing Billy Breathes (1996) as well as their post-breakup comeback album Joy (2009). Incredibly insightful and unabashedly honest, Steve delivers some epic recollections and opinions that will certainly leave you yearning for more.
Our time with Lillywhite concludes with an absolute can't miss "Rapid Fire" segment where we learn who would be sitting at Steve's dream dinner table, what project he is most proud of, and the band he'd most want to work with next. His answer shocked us!
We cannot thank Steve enough for all of the fantastic music he has helped bring to our and millions of others' ears, for taking the time to speak with us and being so gracious throughout, and finally we really want to emphasive how wonderful he was to us. Thank you, Steve! -
It was an absolute honor having DMB & music industry legend Steve Lillywhite join us live from "The Lillipad" for Convos on the Corner! This has truly been years in the making and because he has been a part of many interviews in his career, we wanted to make this one as fresh and unique as possible.
In Part 1, we dive into how Steve got his start in music, what he's up to these days, and touch on some of the other bands he has worked with including The Rolling Stones, Phish, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, and of course U2 who he recently joined in Vegas to help prepare for their residency at The Sphere. We also discussed his incredible work with DMB on UTTAD, Crash, BTCS and the Lillywhite Sessions. Oh, and we actually had Steve listen to infamous MacHead and give us his reaction to hearing it again after all of these years, what it needed to have in order to have made the album, and the story behind its "lyrics".
We hope you enjoy this enlightening convo with Steve - and be sure to come back next week for Part 2 where we discuss his works with Phish, the current band he'd want to produce, and an extended discussion about his potential final DMB record, Away From the World. -
EMERGENCY PODCAST! 2024 DMB Summer Tour Dates are upon us, so Bruce & Nolan had to discuss. It's another big tour for the boys, though shorter than last year, with 32 shows at 22 stops, with some great 2-nighters per usual. Where will we see you on the road this summer???

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! It's the most wonderful time of the year, and for our final episode of 2023, we share our favorite "gifts" that we unwrapped from DMB this year. Beneath the tree was full of greatness; no socks or underwear this year; so tough decisions were made and we had to choose some of our favorite things. So, pour yourself some eggnog, curl up by the fire, and re-live a year full of magic and joy.
Thank you all for an incredible 2023! Stay safe, give love, and be kind, always. -
Goose and their fans descended on the Hampton Coliseum for the 10th annual Goosemas weekend, and we all collectively blasted off into space for a truly epic experience. With an "In Space" theme announced, the band took us to 4 unique planets and played 4 outstanding sets that included never before played covers, segues, and song arrangements that left everyone's faces appropriately melted. For those that are new to Goose, don't worry, we help correlate a lot of the music and our experiences to DMB ones as well. The entire experience was amazing and we hope you all enjoy our recap of Goosemas X!

Brian Calhoun has made guitars for the likes of Dave Matthews, Warren Haynes, Brandi Carlile, Jason Mraz, and countless others and is a true renaissance man. He is the co-founder of Rockbridge Guitar Company, the creator of the Chickapig board game, 25 Outlaws card game, the Tinkertar children's guitar, and more, but he is also the most recent guest to join us for "Convos on the Corner."

This week we were lucky enough to be able to sit down and chat with two gentlemen who were instrumental in the creation of the music video for "Everyday", Chuck McBride (Director) & Tim Harman (Producer). Chuck and Tim reminisce about how the conceptual ideas for the video were formulated, how they wound up with so many celebrities having cameos in the video, what it was like working with Dave and the band, and what the "When the World Ends" music video was going to look like before it was canned. This was truly an enlightneing and engaging conversation that we learned a lot from, and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks again to Chuck and Tim for their time and their work on this great video. Cheers!

While the band has been on a much deserved break, so have we, but as some of the DMB family hit the road again, so did we. Nolan was lucky enough to catch Tim Reynolds and Joe Lawlor in Raleigh, NC last week as TR3 kicked off their fall tour in style. We recap this special night and highlight how incredible it is to be up close and personal with these true musical virtuosos. We also finally give our opinions surrounding the good and bad surrounding the BTCS 25th anniversary re-release and related merch. It's good to be back and we hope you all enjoy!

The 2023 Summer Tour came to a close this past weekend at The Gorge, and wow did these boys have something to say. DMB may have truly saved the best for last as they weaved in and out of dark and celebratory themes throughout the catalog-encompassing 3 night stand. Tune in to hear our thoughts on everything that went down over Labor Dave Weekend, and thank you to each and every one of you for listening!

Don't call it a comeback, but not only has DMB returned from a mini-break, but so have we. A lot has happened in the last month or so, and we have a lot to say about it. Join us as we discuss the Fall Tour announcement, the initial West Coast shows, and of course the return of one of the band's best songs of all time, Spoon!

For the first installment of “Concerts on the Corner”, we invite you to enjoy an entire concert made up of our all-time favorite performances from SPAC. To some, SPAC is the DMB-Mecca. It's where epic performances have become the norm and legendary shows are all but expected. Encompassing 19 different shows over 25 years, this concert features some of the best performances, guest appearances, never-before-heard segues, and of course a few "all-timers". We even took the liberty of creating a few new epic moments as well. Our plan is to continue with this series every month or so and have regular full band shows that we choose or ones that we completely mix together and create just like this SPAC show. We will see how it goes!
-
With the band now on a well deserved break, we are back to recap everything that happened from Camden all the way down to West Palm Beach. Tour debuts, special guests, and unique versions of classic songs dominated this 6 show stretch and we had a lot to say about it all. Cheers!
