From Chicago Pubs to the Nation’s Biggest Theaters
The Longest-Running DMB Tribute on the Road
Trippin’ Billies got its start in the mid-1990s as a scrappy acoustic duo playing small rooms on Chicago’s North Side. As crowds outgrew the bars, the band expanded and word spread across the Midwest, and for three decades running they’ve kept answering the call.
The lineup draws from some of Chicago’s strongest working musicians, and their commitment to Dave Matthews Band’s musicianship and improvisational spirit has carried them well past the typical tribute-act circuit and into full concert productions — the kind of theaters and rooms DMB itself once played.
Whether the crowd is full of diehard fans or first-timers along for the ride, Trippin’ Billies builds a show around the same energy and extended jams that made the original band famous — and they bring all of it to West Bend for one night in December.
