Dave Matthews – White Oak Music Hall – Houston, TX – May 2, 2025

Dave Matthews was welcomed to Houston, Texas, by an intimate crowd of lucky Wells Fargo Autograph Cardholders at the White Oak Music Hall. In classic Houston fashion, rain poured outside, but inside, fans were transported by an unforgettable performance by Dave Matthews. The show offered fans a rare solo performance and a chance to hear classics like “Ants Marching” from their 1994 debut album, Under the Table and Dreaming, along with the debut of an unreleased song, “Peace on Earth” – a commentary on war and violence – featuring the lyrics: “I know you want peace on earth, but we got to kill the monster first.”

The night was filled with Matthews’ seamlessly transitioning between a mix of Dave Matthews Band fans favorites, and some awesome covers like Willie Nelson’s “Funny How Time Slips Away” and Jimmy Buffett’s “A Pirate Looks at Forty.”

In addition to the solo performance, the Dave Matthews fans enjoyed perks exclusive to Wells Fargo Autograph Cardholders, including record painting stations featuring paint in Wells Fargo’s signature colors, commemorative concert posters complete with an armadillo and Texas-stamped cowboy hat and photo opportunities, making it a true "one night only" experience.
