Dave Matthews Sets New Album for Fall Release

Dave Matthews Band will release its eighth studio album, 'Away From the World', on Sept. 11, two days after its concert trek wraps.

The band has already been playing several songs from the forthcoming record on its tour, including 'Mercy', which will be the first single.





The RCA album, DMB's first in three years, was produced by Steve Lillywhite, who worked on their first three multiplatinum studio albums: 'Under the Table and Dreaming' (1994), 'Crash' (1996) and' Before These Crowded Streets' (1998).

In total, the veteran quartet -- singer-guitarist Dave Matthews, drummer Carter Beauford, bassist Stefan Lessard, and violinist Boy Tinsley -- has sold more than 32 million albums in the U.S.



Its 2009 release, 'Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King', its first album after the death of founding saxman LeRoi Moore, debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 424,000 copies sold in its first week and was nominated for an album of the year Grammy.

It marked the band’s fifth consecutive No. 1 debut.



DMB also remains a top concert draw, selling more than 17 million tickets since its formation in Charlottesville, Va., in 1991.
