Dave Matthews Band

Dave Mathews and band to perform tonight and tomorrow at the MGM Grand Garden Arena here in Las Vegas to a sold out crowd.  Some tickets are available online at Click2Vegas.com however are selling fast for this soldout show.

The Dave Matthews Band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia, in early 1991, when vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews decided to put some songs he had written on tape. From that humble beginning, Dave Matthews Band has become one of the most successful bands in the world, with sold out shows and multiple platinum records a norm. What makes them a special band, beyond their musical and financial success, is their commitment to change. They do numerous benefits, they take stands on issues that involve politics, the environment, voting and global capitalism, and they are outspoken risk-takers.

Next weekend the Dave Matthews band will be performing in Boston at Fenway Park.

Remembering DANNY GANS 1956-2009

Danny Gans has died in his sleep early this morning at the age of 52. His cause of death is not immediately known.

“Elaine and I and all of us in the company are devastated at the loss of our brilliant, talented and loving friend…. one of the most unique human beings and entertainers in the world has been taken from us in an unexpected moment. A profoundly tragic event that leaves us all sad and speechless. The loss of Danny, to his wife Julie, his children Amy, Andrew and Emily, is at this moment impossible to comprehend. We will all try to go on with our lives without our dear friend. At this moment it seems almost impossible.” – STEVE WYNN

“I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gans on several occations and Las Vegas has lost not only an icon but a great man.  He will be missed but not forgotten, Danny may you rest in peace” KEN SUMMERVILLE,  PRVegas.com
