JOYRIDE is the collaboration of 7 accomplished musicians from diverse musical backgrounds with one common goal: to recreate the experience of a Dave Matthews Band live show, complete with violin and horns. If you've ever seen DMB live, you know it is a musical journey filled with tight musicianship, extended jams, and fun! JOYRIDE is the next best thing to actually being there, playing all the hits that the casual DMB listener will be familiar with, as well as the deep tracks that hardcore fans know and love.
Formed in New Jersey in 2020, JOYRIDE quickly gained a reputation for their energetic shows and became a sought-after act by venues still able to provide live music. Fans have been amazed by how faithfully they reproduce both the music and live experience. 2022 promises to be an even bigger and better year for the band, as they take over New Jersey, and beyond!
Boys and girls, welcome to thatjoyride.com! Our brand new website where you can keep up with all that is going on in the world of JOYRIDE. We are constantly adding new shows for 2022, so make sure to check back here for the latest info!
