The book: "Dave Dances" . . .

life, love and art inspired by the music of the dave matthews band

Who would any of us have been without the brilliant influence and joy of DMB?

Since I began painting Dave's music for this website, I have been fortunate to hear many wonderful stories about the band and how they have impacted so many lives.

For this book, I have collected stories and pictures and much, much more that will document and honor the DMB experience.





This has been such a journey for me.

I have been blessed to get to meet DMB fans from around the world.

I have heard your stories of love, joy, heartbreak, and fun!

I have worked with a cartoonist and a Manga artist as well as some of the most beautiful people on this planet!

I believe, in this book, I have found the place where we all connect . . . that place that reflects the joy and spirit that is the Dave Matthews Band . . . a scrapbook of our memories.

1/3 of all profits will go to Bama Works.

Have a look at the trailer...
