Dave Matthews Band bass player Stefan Lessard had to perform an unfortunate fire dance this morning, as he and his son escaped a 7:30am house fire at his home on Morgantown Road, reports the Charlottesville Newsplex today. A team of 40 firefighters worked to control the blaze, which got out of hand quickly because of the 3,000-square foot home’s cedar exterior. Investigators think the fire started on the first floor, but have yet to speculate on the cause.
