The official members of the band are:

Dave Matthews- Lead vocals/rhythm guitar/occasional keyboards

Boyd Tinsley- Violin and backing vocals Carter Beauford- Drums and backing vocals

Stefan Lessard- Bass Guitar

There are also three players who are designated as touring members (they play onstage every night, as well as in the studio but are not official band members--it's a contractual thing):

Rashawn Ross- Trumpet and backing vocals

Tim Reynolds- Electric Guitar Jeff Coffin- Woodwinds

There are also several former members of the band: LeRoi Moore- Woodwinds and backing vocals (A founding member of the band in 1991 and remained up until his death in 2008 from injuries sustained in an ATV accident. His last show was June 28, 2008.) Peter Greisar- Keyboards and harmonica (joined the band shortly after its formation and played with them until March 1993, when he left after deciding that life on the road was too much for him) Butch Taylor- Keyboards and backing vocals (the first 'touring member', Butch played occasional guest spots from 1998-2000 before joining them full-time in 2001, after which he played every show until leaving the band for reasons unknown a few days before the start of the 2008 tour). The Lovely Ladies- Backing vocals (a three-part vocal group that originally sang on the song Stay (Wasting Time) from the band's 1998 album Before These Crowded Streets. Like Taylor, they made occasional guest appearances from 1998-2000 before joining full time in 2001, which turned out to be their only tour.)
