As the anchor of the Dave Matthews Band for three decades and counting, Stefen Lessard has established himself as an exemplary pocket player, improviser, soloist, and melodic foil for one of the most popular and prolific jam bands in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.

Stefan started out on trumpet and at age 16, he answered the call to join Matthews’ fledging ensemble, and the rest as they say, is history…

Spanning jazz fusion, funk, folk, bluegrass, alternative rock, and pop with Matthews – Lessard plies his craft slapping, finger-plucking, and plectrum purveying on a variety of basses ranging from vintage Fenders to Warwick, Modulus, Norstrand, fretted and fretless, and extended range boutique instruments to old-school upright.
