Saturday afternoons feature live music from the Ocean Mystics with a special feature artist each week from 2pm – 5pm. Sunday Fundays at the Mist is the perfect way to wrap up your weekend. Each Sunday there is a rocking band from 4pm – 7pm. Come to listen & dance to some great music while enjoying your favorite beverage and a bite to eat.

In addition to live bands, the Ocean Mist often has special entertainment and food events like a Wing Night, Taco Night, Bingo, and Movie nights. These events typically can be found during the cooler months of the year when the beach is not the star attraction.” – RI Blogger

Their name says it all: The Dave Matthews Tribute Band. For nearly 20 years, the band has been performing sold out shows around the world; playing over 1,500 dates in 46 states and 8 countries. Many go to their live shows with reservations, high expectations, and the burning question, “Do these guys sound like the real Dave Matthews Band?” The answer is, “Yes!”

_

Since 2004, The DMTB is the only nationally touring tribute to the Dave Matthews Band. This 5-piece ensemble strives to pay homage to their famous counterparts by matching the excitement, energy, intensity and intimacy of a DMB live show.

_

While most fans never witnessed the real band before they became the platinum-selling artists they are today, The Dave Matthews Tribute Band prides itself on giving audiences this opportunity at intimate venues around the world.

_

Beyond mastering the DMB sound and the relentless touring, what separates The Dave Matthews Tribute Band from other cover bands is their passion, love, and respect for DMB and their music. That is what makes you come out of one of their shows saying, “Yeah, they really do sound like the real Dave Matthews Band.”
