A couple on the way to a Dave Matthews Band tour 2013 concert pulled over to pick up a hitchhiker - and were shocked when they realized it was Dave Matthews, the band's lead singer

Emily Kraus and her boyfriend drove to see the platinum selling rock star perform in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  They noticed a man standing by his bike on the side of the road.

Dave Matthews was stuck with a flat tire and no cell phone.  The Grammy-award winner was potentially going to be a no-show for his own Dave Matthews Band 2013 tour until the couple helped him.

Kraus told WHPTV.com: 'So, we saw him on the other side of the road and we pulled my car in here.  And he picks up his bike and throws it up here."

Kraus's parents had recently attached the bike rack to her car, so she was able to help Dave Matthews get to his Dave Matthews Band 2013 tour - which she was coincidentally attending.

Kraus said: "He says I've never seen a bike rack like this before, so Joe walks over and he's helping him put it on and I'm standing here and I'm holding his helmet,."

Kraus didn't realize who her passenger was until they were in the car.

Kraus said: "So we didn't know how to make conversation with him in fact, so we were talking about his tour and where he had come from."  

"He had just been in Cincinnati and he said I'm taking a short break after this one because I have to drop my daughters off at camp and he was just a very humble guy."

After arriving at the gig, Dave Matthews invited the couple to dinner.  They went backstage and got to see the show from the front row.  Dave Matthews thanked them by name at his show.

Dave Matthews said: "I did not have a cell phone on the bicycle. So I thought, 'Sh*t,' said Matthews that night at his show at Hersheypark Stadium.

"And then a nice lady named Emily rode up in a red car with a bicycle rack on it and gave me a ride on to the gig."

Dave Matthews signed their tickets "Thanks for the ride"

Kraus said: "I woke up this morning, and I rolled over and I said , okay yeah that really happened yesterday ha ha ha ha!  It was surreal we couldn't believe it."
