Trippin Billies – The Dave Matthews Tribute Band – Jan 2

Born in the pubs on the north side of Chicago, Trippin’ Billies took to the “stages” of small rooms in the mid-nineties as an acoustic duo. It wasn’t long before lines grew too long for the small bars and calls started coming in from around the Midwest. As a result, the band was forced to rise to the occasion, and for over twenty years… they’ve done just that.

Trippin’ Billies is comprised of some of Chicago’s absolute best musicians. They go far above and beyond the call of the average tribute band. Each band member’s love and respect for DMB, their impact, and for high-energy performance has moved them above the “bar band” circuit and into full-blown concert settings. Whether it’s a club in Iowa City, a hockey arena in North Dakota, or a summer festival in Rochester, New York or Lincoln, Nebraska, this band puts on a show that even a casual or non-fan of DMB can revel in.

The TBs tour schedule has come to resemble that of the Dave Matthews Band before their ascension to arena tours. Midsize venues sell out consistently across the country, and the famous theatres whose names were once inked on the cover of DMB bootlegs listened to by the band now comprise the tour schedule of Trippin’ Billies. The theatres they once approached with awe have now come to feel like home.

Trippin’ Billies is grateful to the fans, intuitive agents, and to Dave himself for helping to draw attention to their efforts in national publications. Hopefully they’ll see you out on the road.
