Having just earned a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Dave Matthews Band will release a new compilation early next year.

Where Are You Going: The Singles, available February 7, is a new double-vinyl set collecting 22 of the group's best-known songs over their three decades of studio albums, from major-label breakthrough Under the Table and Dreaming (1994) to last year's Walk Around the Moon. Seven of those 10 albums, from 1998's Before These Crowded Streets to 2018's Come Tomorrow, debuted atop the Billboard 200, and while their singles' chart placements have always been modest, they remain a top draw on adult alternative radio - not to mention, of course, a lasting legacy as one of the most beloved jam bands of the late 20th and early 21st century.

The DMB story begins with Dave Matthews, a South African-born bartender in the Charlottesville, Virginia area whose unique musical sensitivities - a combination of roots-rock, acoustic pop and jazz - made him one of the most unconventional bandleaders of the '90s. He'd recruit two jazz players - drummer Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore - along with teenage bassist Stefan Lessard and violinist Boyd Tinsley. This unique combination, buttressed by Matthews' distinct voice and affable vibe, made Dave Matthews Band an out of the gate success. The group toured relentlessly, and their tendency to improvise and preview material on stage (with fans encouraged to tape shows and distribute them freely) helped their fan base grow.

After three acclaimed albums with producer Steve Lillywhite - Under the Table and Dreaming, Crash (1996) (featuring the swooning title track and "So Much to Say," a Grammy winner for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group) and Before These Crowded Streets (1998) - Matthews changed direction in 2001 with the slick but engaging Everyday, a collaboration with songwriter/producer Glen Ballard. (A shelved album of material with Lillywhite was infamously bootlegged around this time, and later re-recorded with producer Stephen Harris on 2002's Busted Stuff.) The 2000s served as their biggest commercial period: Everyday ballad "The Space Between" and 2005 single "American Baby" (from Stand Up) remain their highest-charting hits. And while the group could occasionally become a punchline - like in 2004, when the band's tour bus dumped some 800 pounds of human waste onto a sightseeing boat traveling under a bridge on the Chicago River - DMB enthusiasts remained devoted as ever.

The band spent the late '00s and '10s enduring various tragedies and trials. In the summer of 2008, Moore suffered injuries in an ATV accident and suddenly died nearly two months later. 2009's Big Whiskey and The GrooGrux King was dedicated to his memory, and from this point forward, the line-up expanded considerably, adding trumpeter Rashawn Ross, saxophonist Jeff Coffin (a former member of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones) and guitarist Tim Reynolds (a longtime friend and collaborator of Matthews since their college circuit days). The release of 2018's Come Tomorrow, assembled from various sessions over the years (including posthumous work from Moore), was clouded by Tinsley's departure from the band; a member of a side project of Tinsley's later accused him of sexual misconduct. But DMB - by then sporting a new face, keyboardist Buddy Strong, in its seven-man line-up - endure. Their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction comes four years after their first nomination in 2020, where they handily won the fan vote.
