Dave Matthews

After weeks of having his singing style compared to Dave Matthews, ‘American Idol‘ contestant Phillip Phillips finally took the plunge last week and covered one of Matthews’ songs on an episode of the show. Naturally, an intrepid reporter for New York Magazine’s Vulture asked Matthews to give his thoughts on the performance — and although he admitted he hadn’t heard it, he was willing to weigh in.

‘Late Night’ host Jimmy Fallon will release a new album next month, ten years after his debut ‘The Bathroom Wall.’ With such a long lapse in between records, Fallon has decided to recruit some heavy hitters like Pearl Jam‘s Eddie Vedder, Dave Matthews and more to appear on ‘Blow Your Pants Off.’
