Musical Director of the Dave Matthews Band

Didn't realize this was a real thing but based on what we've heard in interviews and see on stage, guess it's not surprising.

Also, it is me or is Rashawn's accent much thicker here than in any interview we've seen in the past?

    Accent is definitely thicker, not sure I've ever heard that before.

    Seemed pretty obvious that he filled that role, but had no idea he actually held that title.

    Its a video for the Virgin Islands. He's probably adding a little something extra for it.

    Also what would a musical director exactly do.

    He probably helps workout different arrangments for songs. Maybe helps w/ solos and stuff. His musical IQ is extremely high.

    there are some songs, especially ones that don't get played too often, where dave will turn to rashawn for cues. i think blackjack is one of them. if you see a video you'll see dave look over to rashawn throughout the song.

    through some other interviews over the last few years, its been said that rashawn knows not only his parts of every song, but pretty much everybody else's parts to every song. so if someone can't remember when to come in or what line to play, rashawn will remind them..

    Not to turn this into a discussion on his accent, but that accent sounded pretty forced if you ask me. Half way through the interview it seemed to die off and then all of the sudden it gets wicked thick again

    Yeah, they must have told him to throw on the accent for the video to sound more "islandy" since this is the only time he's ever sounded like this.

    Musical director of a band he joined 15 years after they formed? I don't think that speaks very well of the rest of the guys. Who was the "director" before Rashawn?

    This reminds me of my uncle who lived in northern Florida for 30 years and has lived here in CT for 25 years. After a few beers...BOOM...southern drawl. When he comes home from a visit to Florida...BAM...full on southern accent.

    As someone else pointed out, it was Roi. Many people, myself included, hold the opinion that this band would not have survived the death of Roi without RR. Whether or not you like his playing style, he's a tremendous asset to the band.

    I think he's saying, "shut up." He makes a good point.

    You do realize he's from there. He's forcing his original accent? You don't think he slips back into it when he's around his homies? That's not an uncommon thing.

    SO glad that we have Rashawn...the first couple of years were an adjustment but that man has possibly saved this band!
