As the lead singer for the Dave Matthews Band, Dave Mathews presented a more pop-oriented version of the Grateful Dead crossed with elements of jazz, funk, and the worldbeat explorations of Paul Simon and Sting. Matthews populated the group with several Virginia-based musicians and the band built up a strong word-of-mouth buzz by touring the country constantly. The band released the debut effort "Under the Table and Dreaming" in September 1994.
