Song That Jane Likes (Original Demo)

This is Dave Matthews' original demo for Song That Jane Likes...

In 1990, Dave met Ross Hoffman, a local songwriter who owned a recording studio. Hoffman encouraged Daves writing. Before then, I had just doodled around on the guitar, and never finished a song (CVille Weekly, 10/7/94) Hoffman helped Dave strengthen intros and outros, and put fragments together from different songs for a complete sound (Lauren Hoffman). By October, 1990, Dave completed 4 songs.

Greg Howard lent his studio to record Daves first 4 songs. (Recently, The Song That Jane Likes, Ill Back You Up, and The Best Of What Around) Dave used that demo to convince Carter Beauford and LeRoi Moore to join him for another demo. The three got together in January, 1991.

Stefan Lessard joined the trio to provide a much-needed bassline. The ultimate goal was to record a demo. Boyd Tinsley sat in on some practices, and guest-starred on the bands first official demo, recorded sometime in March or April, 1991. Recently and STJL, both repeats from the first Dave demo, appeared, along with Boyd Playing on Tripping Billies. That Demo led to a live show. Which begot another live show, and another... well, you get the picture. The Dave Matthews Band was born.

My daughter is 2 as well and requests "Dave" every time we get in the car and always tells anyone who will listen that "Carter playin' drums" She recognized Dave immediately the first time she watched "Winn Dixie" the other day. Who says there's no hope for the younger generations? Keep up the good work! ;-)
