About ME

My name is Andrea Louise Bliss

I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and have always loved Dave Matthews Band!
I grew up skiing in Jasper on the weekends with my father and one of my very first memories is listening to the album Crash on the way up the mountain in the morning! I knew all the words to almost every song!
Dave Matthews Band music picks me up when I'm down, and is played in my house for alomst every occassion!
I have listened to them when I was young, and will continue to listen to them when I grow old!
When I get married I'll even have my first dance to one of their songs...it's a tie between Oh, Crash Into Me and So Damn Lucky!!
My only true wish is to go see them live! It will probably be one of the most amazing experiences I'll ever have! (I wish they travelled and toured in Canada more!)

David John Matthews

Born January 9, 1967 in Johannesburg, South Africa! At two years old, Matthews' family immigrated to Yorktown Heights in Westchester County, New York, where his father, a physicist, started working for IBM. In 1974, the family moved to Cambridge, England, for a year before returning to New York, where his father died from lung cancer in 1977. The family moved back to Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1977. Upon Matthews' graduation from St Stithians College high school, he was faced with conscription into the South African military just as civil disobedience to the practice was becoming widespread. A Quaker (and consequently pacifist), Matthews left South Africa to avoid service. Matthews moved to New York in 1986 where he worked for IBM for a short time, then joined his mother in Charlottesville, Virginia, the same year, a town Matthews' family had lived in before he was born. It was in Charlottesville that he became part of the local music community. Matthews started play the guitar at the age of nine and has been hooked ever since.

Personal Life

Matthews married longtime partner Jennifer Ashley Harper in 2000. The couple has twin daughters, Stella Busina and Grace Anne, born on August 15, 2001 and a son, August Oliver, born on June 19, 2007. As of the late 2000s, they reside in Seattle, Washington
