The concert comes on the eve of the release of Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, Dave Matthews Band's first studio album in four years. Following the exclusive live stream, Hulu will offer on-demand access of the show, which is Hulu's first live music concert.
The concert is one of numerous elements of Hulu's first-ever music partnership. Beginning on May 28th, Hulu will begin introducing new Dave Matthews Band videos leading up to the concert, including exclusive airing of "Scenes from Big Whiskey," a documentary about the making of the band's forthcoming album, behind-the-scenes footage and original and live music videos. Hulu will also bring fans Dave Matthews Band's upcoming performances on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and the "TODAY" show.
"Dave Matthews Band is honored to partner with Hulu in this groundbreaking venture," says Coran Capshaw, the band's longtime manager and founder/owner of Red Light Management.
Proceeds from Dave Matthews Band's June 1st Beacon Theatre show, presented by Madison Square Garden's national music network Fuse and MSG Entertainment, will benefit Dave Matthews Band's Bama Works Fund, which supports charitable programs for disadvantaged youth, the disabled, the environment and the arts and humanities.
With Big Whiskey, band mates Carter Beauford (drums), Stefan Lessard (bass), Dave Matthews (vocals, guitar) and Boyd Tinsley (violin) pay tribute to the group's saxophonist, LeRoi Moore. Moore passed away in the summer of 2008 while they were on tour and midway through recording the album. Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance), the record has already been hailed by Rolling Stone as the group's "heaviest album yet, both musically and emotionally."
