With a career spanning 25 years, Dave Matthews Band is one of the most influential bands in rock history.  Formed in Charlottesville, VA in 1991, Dave Matthews Band's infectious and distinctive sound garnered lots of early attention and a die-hard loyal fan base, catapulting the band into one of the most successful touring acts of the past two decades.

The group has since released eight studio albums and numerous live recordings, selling a collective 38 million CDs and DVDs combined since the 1994 release of its major label debut, Under the Table and Dreaming. The GRAMMY®-winning band's many hits include "What Would You Say," "Crash Into Me," "Too Much," "Everyday," "American Baby," "Funny The Way It Is" and "Mercy." In 2009, the band released Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. With 2012's Away From The World bowing at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Dave Matthews Band became the first group in chart history to have six consecutive studio albums debut atop the chart.

Renowned for its live performances, Dave Matthews Band has sold over 19 million tickets since its inception and ranked as the biggest ticket seller worldwide of the past decade. The group's Bama Works Fund, established in 1999, has raised more than $40 million dollars for humanitarian and environmental initiatives.

This is the fourth The Night Before show and is among several high-profile events CBS RadioADIO produces, including We Can Survive, Stars and Strings and and SPF, featuring exciting performances by the most well-known and up-and-coming artists. Previous The Night Before shows have featured performances by Metallica in San Francisco in 2016, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley and Florida Georgia Line in Phoenix in 2015, and Red Hot Chili Peppers in New York in 2014.
