Singer Dave Matthews has teamed up with Jakob Dylan to form a new band named the Nauts.

The group, which also includes Bob Dylan guitarist Charlie Sexton, his brother Bill and drummer Brady Blade, formed out of a project Blade organised to bring different musicians together for a jam session, according to Mixonline.com.

The Nauts are now working on their self-produced album and will reportedly make their onstage debut at the next Unscene! concert, which takes place each month in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Double Trouble's Tony Franklin, bassist Roy Harper, vocalist Noah Hunt and pianist Riley Osborne are also working on the Nauts album.
