Once a yearly staple at Hartford's Xfinity Theatre, Dave Matthews Band is skipping Connecticut and instead touring in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

The legendary jam band — with 49 shows behind it at Saratoga Performing Arts Center — is a summer staple at SPAC, its loyal fans having set the record for most sold-out shows at the 25,000-person venue — not surprising for a band that has sold 38 million albums and more than 25 million concert tickets since debuting in the 1990s.

In the Bay Area, the newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act will perform Aug. 23 at Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View.
