DMB's most recent release is last November's two-disc set "Live at Folsom Field," which captures the band's July 2001 performance in Boulder, Colo. The band simultaneously released a video version of the performance on VHS and DVD.

The group's latest studio effort is last year's "Busted Stuff."

Prior to his summer tour, band namesake Dave Matthews spends a few weeks in March and April on an acoustic outing with guitarist Tim Reynolds [ tickets ]. The two recently spent a week recording a studio album, according to an interview Reynolds gave to Boulder, Colo.'s Daily Camera.

"It's going to be really, really good," he said. "I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but I can tell you, it's gonna kick (butt). People will be surprised to hear Dave in a fresh new way."

No other details about the album have been revealed.
