Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
The Dave Matthews Band summer tour this go-around is reassurance for fans that DMB is not going anywhere. The worry was brought on by a Rolling Stone interview in 2012 in which Matthews said he didn’t know where the band was headed and maybe the group was “losing legitimacy.” Bassist Stefan Lessard is doing the talking this time, saying in a recent interview that the band is in a good place, one of the best its been since DMB started in the early ’90s.
Why go: It’s a holiday weekend, so take a leisurely drive to Alpine Valley and hear music from DMB’s latest, “Away From the World.”
Reconsider: There’s always next summer.
Details: 7 p.m. Friday at Alpine Valley Music Theatre, W2699 County Road D, Elkhorn, Wis.; $40.50-$89.90; livenation.com
