Band Name Origins:

• Dave Matthews was working in a jazz club bar tending whilst at the time whilst also writing his music. He had compiled a band of his peers and also scored a gig at the club in which he worked. As it was a particularly busy club in which he worked, all the bands who played there had to write their names on a quasi time-sheet type affair as the bands played in allocated time slots. The first night Dave actually played at the club the manager/band organiser asked what their band was called. A few 'umms' and 'ahhhs' later and the manager simply put down 'Dave Matthews and a Band' on the time sheet. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that over time 'Dave Matthews and a Band' evolved to 'The Dave Matthews Band'. Submitted by: Michael
• Now if anyone listens to Dave, you'll know that he's a lot more creative than to call his band 'Dave Matthews Band'. You'll also know that he's not self-centered. The name allegedly was derived by mistake. When he was still small-town, he had been in a band (can't recall the name) that booked a gig at a rather large college-gathering bar/restaurant. When he called to book the band, the operative asked what the band was booked as. Dave, not knowing she was referring to the band's name, said it was booked under Matthews, Dave Matthews. That night they were announced as 'Dave Matthew's Band because he never left the name. The band had tried to change that name, but it just stuck with the college kids who now called the hot new band the Dave Matthews Band. Submitted by: Dixie Chicken
