While DMB is reaching out to fans in Europe this winter tour season, so is WDS. The German language fan site proudestmonkeys.de in working with the European Fan board proudestmonkeys.org has graciously offered to share with our readers an exclusive interview with Dave that took place in Hamburg, Germany just a few days into their 2010 Europe Winter Tour.

For the return of the Davespeaks, the Content Team has chosen the "Vomit Cruise From Hell". This six minute story is Dave discussing his trip on the "Dream Yacht Pleasure Cruise", his inability to say 'Catamaran', and how everyone ends up seasick.

EXCERPT:
"Being seasick... There's two things you want to happen right away. Either you want to be on land immediately... or you want to be dead. And its fine, either is fine. Its not like "I must survive!"... Its "Kill me now, I just want to die...""

"Some of the best pickin' outside of Nashville." This is how Relix magazine describes the Yonder Mountain String Band's latest release, The Show, which topped the US Bluegrass charts after its release in September 2009.  

Recently, WDS contributor Bryan Rosengrant had the opportunity to photograph YMSB at their January 29th show at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA.   You can check out the hi-res photos here. 

Another day, another way.  Dave Matthews Band has teamed up with Reverb once again to become a founding member of the Green Music Group.  DMB, along with Willie Nelson, Linkin Park, and Sheryl Crow among others have launched GMG with an aim to bring about widespread environmental change within the music industry and around the globe.

The first tour of the New Year begins this week as DMB returns to Europe for an 18 stop Winter Tour kicking off in Hamburg, Germany on February 16th and wrapping up in Stockholm, Sweden on March 15th.

DMB will visit 10 countries along the way including shows in Berlin, Amsterdam, and Dublin.

After receiving a positive response from our members during the 2009 season, we have decided to bring back the WDS chat room feature in 2010!

When DMB summer tour dates first came out, the week long break only 6 shows into the Summer Tour didn't make much sense... until now. The rumors are true: Dave Matthews Band is returning to headline Bonnaroo 2010.

The lineup for Bonnaroo 2010 was released Tuesday, February 9, revealing DMB to be headlining the music and arts festival alongside a fantastic mix of Kings of Leon, Jay-Z, and Stevie Wonder. The festival will run Thursday June 10 to Sunday June 13, in Manchester, TN.

Dave Matthews and Adam Sandler are at it again.  Sandler will be releasing a new film around Valentine's Day 2011 either titled "The Pretend Wife" or "Just Go With It", starring himself, Jennifer Aniston, and featuring Dave Matthews.

The Warehouse ticket request period for the DMB 2010 Summer Tour has been extended by 24 hours. The new deadline for any requests for tickets is now 12 Noon EST, Tuesday, February 9. Ticket confirmations will still be available by the end of Thursday, February 25, as the public onsale date is the following day.

It was a disappointing night at the Grammys for DMB and their fans. Nominated for 2 awards, DMB was beat out by Green Day's "21st Century Breakdown" for Best Rock Album, and by Taylor Swift's "Fearless" for Album of the Year.

Joining performances that ranged from a multi-censored Eminem/Drake/Lil Wayne combo, to P!nk's high flying Cirque du Soleil inspired number, DMB took to the stage late in the show to perform an outstanding rendition of “You and Me” complete with a choir, small orchestra and eight youth musicians.

First, it was Download to Donate. Then, Dave's participation in the Hope for Haiti Now telethon. And now, Dave Matthews Band is at it again, supporting Haiti with the creation of the Bama Works Haiti Relief Fund.

To support the fund they started with Bama Works, DMB has released a 5-track EP titled The Haiti Relief Project, along with a limited edition t-shirt featuring the album artwork. The album and t-shirt were both made available today, January 29th, through the Warehouse and DMB online stores. The album costs $5, and all proceeds will go to the Bama Works Haiti Relief Fund.
