Dave Matthews Band, Julia Roberts Team Up on Music Video, Band Also To Appear In NFL Promotional Campaign

NEW YORK, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Dave Matthews Band, who are in the midst of a highly successful summer tour, will release a new single and video from their acclaimed Stand Up album next week. Entitled "Dreamgirl," the new video features Julia Roberts, a long time fan and friend of the band, in the starring role. The video will premiere on VH1 on Wednesday, August 17.

"Dreamgirl" was filmed over two days earlier this summer by Dave Meyers, who besides directing some of DMB's best-known clips has helmed music videos for artists such as Outkast, Kanye West, Jay Z and Jennifer Lopez. Mr. Meyers was nominated for 6 MTV video music awards this year alone for his work on Missy Elliot's "Lose Control."

The video was shot in various locations around Brooklyn and Harlem in New York City. A highly conceptual episodic clip, the video features Ms. Roberts as the dream girl with the members of Dave Matthews Band inhabiting her dreams. This is Ms. Roberts' first filmed role since the birth of her twins last year.

"Dreamgirl" is not the only place that DMB can be seen on television. The band has also joined with the NFL ON CBS to star in a series of promotional spots featuring the album's title track, "Stand Up." The spots are scheduled to debut this weekend during CBS Sports regular programming.
