About the crew.

Embodied Practice · Est. at the Gorge

It all started with a love for DMB and a goal to get fit in time for The Gorge.

The Origin

From there we discovered a community where DMB fam members love to reach fitness goals with our favorite music turned way up.

From the very beginning this group has radiated love, support, and positivity. We instinctively wanted to direct that good, good vibe toward the causes and organizations dear to our hearts, so we ran with it!

DMB Fit Crew is an example of embodied practice — an intentional, action-driven method of realizing goals. It requires that we become aware of our current state, educate ourselves, set goals for improvement, and commit to taking action toward those goals. Personal fitness is a great application for the "taking action" phase of this work, and also happens to be the main reason we're all here.

But our activities go beyond losing weight and inches and gaining strength and mileage; we are following the lead of the band and crew in shining our light while we've got one to leave the world better than we found it.

We gotta do much more than believe, if we really wanna change things.— Gaucho · Dave Matthews Band

Annual Gorge Events

Sunrise on the piazza.

Every Labor Dave weekend, we roll out our mats above the Columbia River gorge and greet the day together before the pilgrimage rolls into the amphitheater.

Sunrise Yoga is our annual gathering — held on the piazza at Cave B Winery, minutes from the venue, Friday of Labor Day weekend. All levels welcome.

The Labor Dave 5k joins the weekend as our second on-site event — same weekend, same crew, same sky. Walk it, run it, ruck it. All paces welcome.

A Partner Initiative · Est. Earth Day 2023

Leave the world better than you found it.

A partner initiative between Ryoko Suzuki — Holistic Healing & Wellness and DMB Fit Crew. Because philanthropy doesn't always mean giving money; we can also give our attention to the impact our active lifestyle has on the environment.

The #trashtagDMB initiative is about putting forth an EFFORT to reduce our carbon footprint while engaging in DMB FIT CREW and other active pursuits. While we're doing the things we love, we show love to the planet.

Three habits:

  1. Do what Dave says and "take what you brought with you." Encourage your crew to make #trashtagdmb a thing.
  2. Wherever you roam, be the kind of person who leaves the world better than you found it. Pick up that trash. Post with #trashtagdmb.
  3. Your concert habit and wellness goals do not have to have a negative effect on the planet. Carpool to a show. Run where you are. Reduce or offset your impact.

Following the lead of Dave, Ryoko, and Jeff, net proceeds from #trashtagDMB swag sales are donated to dmbtrees.org to plant a billion trees with The Nature Conservancy and Dave Matthews Band.

Post & Tag #trashtagdmb
Every trail. Every show. Every workout. Post your effort on social with #trashtagdmb — we'll share it forward and grow the movement.

In Loving Memory of Our Friend Ian

A Bama Works match and a doTERRA Helping Hands match took us past our goal — to a total that keeps a promise: music and movement together, building a room to rehearse in and a place to belong.
