Matthews moved from his native South Africa to New York when
he was just two years old. When his father died he moved back to
Johannesburg with his mother, where he finished high school. He finally
settled back in Charlottesville, Virginia, and assembled his self-titled,
multiracial band in 1990. Matthews
(guitar/vocals), Leroi Moore

(reeds/saxophone), Boyd Tinsley
(violin), Steffan Lessard
(bass), and
Carter Beauford
(drums) forged a vibrant, individual sound from their
wide instrumental range, with the eclectic mix significantly complementing
Matthews' own expanded world view. Together they built a formidable
reputation on the back of a punishing touring schedule, which helped
their self-produced and financed debut, Remember Two Things, sell
over 150,000 copies. In its wake the band were afforded the luxury
of picking from the majors. Eventually choosing RCA Records
(who
offered the most malleable contract), their major label debut, Under The
Table And Dreaming, produced by Steve Lillywhite, entered the Billboard
charts in 1994 at number 34. Because of the record's continued success,
the band were faced with the problem of having new material written
to perform at gigs and yet having an album that was still selling strongly.
They wisely issued Crash, to satisfy demand for a new product and it
immediately went to number 2 in the US chart, confirming their arrival
as one of the most successful rock acts of the 90s. Before These
Crowded Streets debuted at US number 1, deposing the Titanic soundtrack
album in the process, but showed little sign of any creative progress,
indicating that the band may have become victims of their own astonishing
success. Their popularity was confirmed when Live At Luther College,
a 1996 recording by Matthews and collaborator Tim Reynolds, debuted
at number 2 in February 1999. Everyday rather predictably went straight
in at number 1 on the US charts in March 2001.
