Like a hirsute garden gnome, contemporary alt-blues-roots rocker Dave Matthews popped up everywhere at TIFF this year. First he crashed onto the red carpet for the Ides of March. Then he made an appearance at the mammoth Grey Goose Soho House party for A Dangerous Method. (Turns out, he wasn’t just here for fun—the multi-platinum college balladeer is the co-founder of ATO Pictures, which acquired the North American rights to The Woman in the Fifth back in February.) Indeed, he showed up so often that we started finding him everywhere we looked. Check out our slideshow of Matthews’ appearances, after the jump.

As a fan of Dave, I’m quite shocked that this superstar had to wait at Guu. Shame on Toronto and its pretentious eateries…
