Welcome to our Charlottesville VA weekend recap episode. We met so many wonderful friends and podcast listeners, got to experience three incredible posters for the weekend, and of course, see our boys, the Dave Matthews Band for two nights. Mike and Erica share their weekend adventures in Charlottesville- from pop up with Blenheim Vineyards, and downtown mall - Millers and of course concerts. We will do a deep dive on the posters (Johnny Dombrowski, Methane Studios and Todd Slater) on a later episode! We’re you at the show? What did you think? Hope y’all enjoy this longer form episode!

Todays episode is another deep dive into the DMB song series, and this time we get to review Dan Mumford’s visual rendition of “Grey Street”. The second track on the album, Busted Stuff. Join Mike (and Erica because well Mike really loves this one) as we review and explore this beautiful piece. This poster is FULL of Easter eggs, and apocalyptic pop style imagery. You can find Dan Mumford on his website: www.Dan-Mumford.com or his social @danmumforddraws on Instagram. We truly love having this special piece as part of our collection!

This episode is another fire one (get it… flames!?) of a deep dive for one of our favorite artists, James Flames. Today we review the Artist Proof version of the poster from the June 28, 2022 poster from Jones Beach Amphitheater- in Wantagh, NY. The title of this image is “ At The Very Break Between Night and Day”- and along this poster print, we have the accompanying James Flames artist poem. This is something unique that James does with his AP and AE prints. We also discuss some language around types of prints: the difference between SE (Show Edition), AP (Artist Proof) and AE (Artist Edition). We are so grateful for our community here and want to remind you all- no matter your tenure in poster collecting- ALL are welcome! To find James work: www.Jamesflames.com and sign up for his amazing newsletter.

Todays a FUN episode, dedicated to the friendships that are made through poster collecting. We met our guest in Mexico 2023, while in the pool discussing posters and music and all things Dave Matthews Band. We are super excited to have our friend Chris Adams on todays episode. Join us as we talk all things friendship, art, poster collecting and the great connections that are made in this amazing community. Chris is also the artist who designed and created our new logo. We hope you enjoy listening in to this conversation between friends & poster collectors!

Our DEEP DIVE on the amazing Luke Martin Triptych from the Gorge 2023 is HERE. Except one thing is a bit different, we have a special guest joining us today while we review this beautiful poster. Who's the "Special guest", well, how about the artist himself, LUKE MARTIN. This is really an incredible conversation, not just to go deep on this piece, but to get some additional insight from the creator and artist. Luke has made a name for himself in the last few years with some incredible pieces for the Dave Matthews Band, Phish, The Grateful Dead, Metallica, and Eddie Veder to name a few.

Hope you enjoy todays conversation and don’t forget to hop on his AP release on Friday, October 13, 2023 via Bottleneck Gallery. Thanks Luke for taking time to chat today- we had a blast!

Thanks for joining us for 20 episodes of the podcast!! We got a special guest intro today, our daughter!! Today we get to chat about the 2023 DMB tour poster series! Mike and Erica thought it would be fun to chat about our “Top 3” posters this year, and we got super excited to share our favorites and stand outs! We saw a ton of outstanding posters and new / classic artists this year. What do you think of our picks? What was your top 3? Shout out to the artists (including but not limited to) Ben Kwok, Maxxer24, Owen Murphy, Luke Martin, Miles Tsang, Brandon Trammel, and Daniel Danger

Todays episode is a deep dive into another piece by Daniel Danger (@tinymediaempire on Instagram) from the August 26, 2033 Dave Matthews Band show in Irvine, CA. We learned a lot about the history that inspired this Danger print. Juana Maria - the Lone Woman of San Nicholas Island, was the last surviving member of the Nicolino tribe. This tribe had inhabited the island for what we believe over 10,000 years. In the late 1800s, she was found living alone on the island with her dogs in 1850. She had been left behind after missionaries came and forcibly removed the native people 20 years prior. This incredible history and story of this woman, is now front and center as a part of the DMB poster lore. Mike and Erica share their perspective on this piece- as well as the musical inspiration (very Don’t Drink the Water vibes) on this prolific piece by Daniel Danger.

This episode, Mike and Erica do a high-level overview of the 2023 “Labor Dave Weekend”- 3 nights at the magical Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA. We were not at this venue but chatted about the iconic location and accompanying posters that were featured over the 3 day weekend! We saw artists: NC Winters, Luke Martin, Chuck Sperry and Jim Mazza! Wow, having all those names in one weekend, how lucky are we to see!! Join us, as we chat casually about our impressions of the posters and noise from the weekend!

Today’s episode is a fun one… Mike and Erica do an overview of the Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds events in Cancun, Mexico. Join us as we walk through the history of D & T shows, will talk about why it’s different, what makes it special, and definitely talk a little poster game. If you have gone to this event, let us know your thoughts on this episode, or if you’re thinking about it, and have questions, send them our way!
