ABOUT THE ARTIST

THE DMB SOUND. LIVE ON STAGE.

Trippin’ Billies began as an acoustic duo in Chicago's North Side pubs in the mid-1990s and grew into a touring six-piece concert act.

The band's official history describes its growth from small rooms to theater stages, festivals and major concert venues around the United States. Its musicians approach the Dave Matthews Band catalog with an emphasis on ensemble musicianship, live interplay and improvisation.

The current official biography identifies Pat McKillen as lead vocalist and guitarist; he joined in late 2022. The ensemble includes drums, violin, bass and saxophones alongside guitars, celebrating the layered instrumental style that defines a DMB show.
