Dave Matthews and crew confirmed the title and release date of their next album


Dave Matthews and crew have just confirmed the title and release date of their next album. Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King is the name of the disc and will be the group's first studio album since their 2005 release, Stand Up. This will also be the group's first release since the passing of founding member and saxophonist LeRoi Moore last August. While the new album features recordings by Moore, Jeff Coffin, who is known for his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, has recently announced his joining of the Dave Matthews Band and will be touring with them starting on April 14th at Madison Square Garden. Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King drops on June 2nd and was named as a nod to LeRoi Moore and his nickname, Groogrux.
