Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds first played together at a jam session in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991. Matthews had grown up in South Africa with a mix of musical influences, while Reynolds was a guitarist from Virginia Beach. They started performing as a duo, building an audience through live shows that often featured extended improvisation.
Their 1994 debut album 'Remember Two Things' included the song 'Crush,' which became one of their better-known tracks. Other songs like 'Bartender,' 'Grey Street,' and 'Typical Situation' have remained part of their setlists over time. They've released several live recordings, including 'Live at Luther College' in 1999 and 'Live in Las Vegas' in 2002.
The duo's performances typically feature Matthews on vocals and guitar alongside Reynolds' intricate guitar work. Their shows are known for being loose and exploratory, with songs stretching out in different directions each night. They continue to tour together periodically, playing theaters and smaller venues that suit their acoustic-oriented approach.
