Blue Merle: Cousin band to the Dave Matthews Band

with 2 comments

It seems that Blue Merle and the Dave Matthews Band have several connections. For starters, DMB’s Red Light Management also handles business for Blue Merle. This involves Coran Capshaw – the mastermind behind DMB’s rise to stardom. Blue Merle’s debut album, Burning In the Sun was produced by longtime DMB engineer and co-producer of Busted Stuff – Stephen Harris. The album was recorded in DMB’s hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia. Recently, Boyd Tinsley (DMB’s violinist) made a guest appearance at one of Blue Merle’s concerts.

All of this leads me to believe that we’ll see Blue Merle opening some of DMB’s shows on this summer’s tour. The dates have been announced, but there’s been no announcement of openers at this time.

  2. they have been playing blue merle on the stereo where i work. at first i thought it was dmb. i figured it was some of their live music that i had never heard. eventually i asked “who is this” and i’ve been a big fan since. i just got their cd in the mail today from bmg music club. anyway, just wanted to chime in and say that these guys are pretty hip. i’m sure the rest of the world will catch on shortly.
