Julia, clad in a Dave T-shirt, spoke of the band’s “unelectrifying” start but said fans call them phenomenal, stupendous, magnificent.” She added that for herself, Dave Matthews Band is “life-affirming.” Julia has attended many of the band’s concerts and said they never play their songs the same way twice.

Julia Roberts added that the band’s music tells stories of love and loss and brings her a special memory. “The first time I ever danced with my husband was almost 25 years ago to a Dave Matthews Band song.”

Julia and her husband, Danny Moder, married in 2002 and share three children. Twins Phinnaeus and Hazel will turn 20 in November, and son Henry turned 17 in June.

Julia added, referring to her first dance to a Dave song, “That was a winning combination, as I have been swooning over my husband and this band ever since.”

Julia Roberts said Dave Matthews helped change her life and that she was a part of their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. She was “deeply honored to be a part of heralding these men.”

The Dave Matthews Band formed in 1991 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Founding members included lead singer and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer and backing vocalist Carter Beauford, violinist and vocalist Boyd Tinsley, and saxophonist LeRoi Moore.
