Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Just Give
10/22/2010
.
(Red Light) On December 6th and 7th, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds will play Seattle's McCaw Hall. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the shows - which will total an estimated one million dollars over the two nights -will be donated to charities selected by ticket purchasers, marking an unprecedented charitable initiative to engage fans in giving. For each $135 ticket purchased, the buyer will receive a $150 credit at www.justgive.org that can be directed to any charitable organization on JustGive.org that they wish to support. JustGive.org is a website that hosts over 1.8 million charities, so the purchaser has complete autonomy over the recipient of the funds.
Dave Matthews is the first musician to partner with JustGive.org on a campaign to drive charitable donations through his concerts. The donations will be funded by Matthews and a generous supporter in an effort to provide fans with an opportunity to help make a better world while enjoying an evening of live music. Longtime friends and collaborators Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds have released three live double-CDs together: 1999's multi-Platinum Live At Luther College, Live At Radio City, which bowed at #3 on The Billboard 200 in July of 2007, and Live In Las Vegas, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Modern Rock/Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts in January 2010. Matthews is best known as the vocalist/guitarist for Dave Matthews Band, which has sold a collective 37 million CDs and DVDs combined since the 1994 release of its major label debut, Under the Table and Dreaming. In 2003, he released his solo debut, Some Devil, which Reynolds played on. A multi-instrumentalist, Reynolds has been hailed as an "underrated master" by allmusic.com. He founded TR3 (the Tim Reynolds Trio) in 1984, which released three albums. He has subsequently released a series of solo albums and guested on numerous Dave Matthews Band albums, including 2009's Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, which was nominated for two GRAMMY awards, including "Album Of The Year." He has also toured extensively with the band.
