The very first major concert I went to without parents was Dave Matthews Band. It was the night before I graduated from high school and my friend had an extra ticket. I remember obsessing over what I was going to wear, nervous to spend the evening with two cute college boys listening to a band who's lyrics and melodies had carried me though adolescence. There is nothing quite like a Dave Matthews concert, the melodies, jams, hippie dancing, and the way Dave has his own little dance he does across the stage (we've all imitated it at some point). It is the very definition of euphoria. I have seen Dave eight more times since then.
This summer I will travel from the heat of Central Texas up to Governor's Island with NYC as the backdrop for Dave Matthews Caravan. It will take trains, planes, and ferries to get there, and will no doubt be worth all of it. It will be the perfect way to kick off my fall of Festivals, which will include ACL, and Fun Fun Fun Fest, only this one will feature Dave headlining each night. Can't complain about that!
Will you be at Caravan? Who are you most excited to see?
