Dave Matthews Band announces Haiti relief EP, 2010 tour

Dave Matthews

Dave Matthews had a highly visible appearance on the "Hope for Haiti" telethon with Neil Young, but that's not his only contribution to raising funds. He and the Dave Matthews Band are releasing "The Haiti Relief Project EP" tomorrow, which will go to the band's own Bama Works Haiti Relief Fund.

For $5, fans can get five previously unreleased DMB tracks, including an older cut with a contribution from the late LeRoi Moore.

Matthews can be heard performing solo on 2007's “Butterfly,” and Moore plays on the 2004 recording of “Cry Freedom.” “Out of My Hands,” “Lying in the Hands of God” and “Dive In” were all culled from the group's last 2009 tour in support of "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King."

"The Haiti Relief Project EP" will be available starting tomorrow (Jan. 30) via DMBlive.com.

Speaking of touring: as the world continues to turn on its axis, it is time again to announce that DMB is going on out again. They've picked some of their best support acts yet, with openers including Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Robert Earl Keen, Joe Lewis & the Honebears and Raphael Saadiq. The group is headed to Europe for the rest of winter, but when they can see their shadow (est. May), they're in the U.S. through September.
