Head to the Midway Lawn at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction, Vermont to catch a second evening of music with Billy Strings on Sunday, July 23rd.
Founded in 1993, Jocamo is a group of veteran musicians who’ve taken it upon themselves to bring their old school brew of funk, R&B, soul and rock to the masses, enlightenment to the clueless and booty jump to the rhythmically challenged. Inspired by the music of the Meters, Neville Brothers, Parlaiment/Funkadelic, James Brown and Marvin Gaye, Jocamo provides heavy groove with covers and original music. Remember the funk not only moves, it removes.
“Madman’s Eyes,” The First Single, Released 1/24/2023
Coinciding with the launch of their U.S. summer tour (full list of dates below), Dave Matthews Band will release Walk Around The Moon – their 10th studio album and the follow-up to their chart-topping 2018 album, Come Tomorrow – on May 19. Most of the album’s 12 original songs were recorded with producer Rob Evans, including the first single, “Madman’s Eyes,” which was released on January 24th.. Longtime collaborator, John Alagia, served as executive producer of the album. Walk Around The Moon took shape during the pandemic and is as much a reflection on the current times as it is an urge to find common ground.
After playing a trio of dates in Mexico, Dave Matthews Band will kick off its U.S. tour at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, TX on May 19. The headline run will include the band’s first show at the historic Forest Hills Stadium in New York on June 9. Dave Matthews Band will play two-night stands in Wilmington, NC; Charleston, SC; Noblesville, IN; Chicago, IL; Gilford, NH; Saratoga Springs, NY; Camden, NJ; West Palm Beach, FL and Irvine, CA. The tour will conclude with the band’s traditional three-day, Labor Day weekend celebration at Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA (September 1-3).
January 24th also marks the release of the epic and ominous first single release from Walk Around The Moon. “Madman’s Eyes” weaves Middle Eastern textures with heavy horns and strings as Matthews asks unflinchingly, “When it’s too late to untwist the knife / How do we face hatred with the love inside us.” View the visualizer HERE. Dave Matthews Band gave “Madman’s Eyes” its live debut at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH in November 2021. The full album track listing is below. The pre-order for the physical album, featuring a limited-edition deluxe vinyl option, is exclusively available now at DaveMatthewsBand.com.
