Emily Kraus was utterly shocked while en route to a concert, when she saw Dave Matthews on the side of the road, stranded. Kraus ecstatically offered him a lift.

We all wish to meet our favorite celebrity in person, right?

Well, for one woman that wish really became true.

Emily Kraus was absolutely pumped to be going to a Dave Matthews concert in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Kraus, has been a diehard fan since she was 9 years of age. While en route to the show, she was shocked to see a man who bore a striking resemblance to Dave Matthews on the side of the road, stranded. Kraus was running a little late, however she pulled over.

Amazingly, the man was indeed Dave Matthews. He had a bicycle next to him, but unfortunately the back tire went flat. Matthews had gone out for some exercise before the concert and forgot to take his cell phone with him.

Of course, Kraus ecstatically offered him a lift and let him use the bike rack on the vehicle. As a way of thanks, Matthews gave Kraus front row tickets, backstage passes and a dinner invitation.

Kraus stated “My cheeks still hurt from smiling, giggling and laughing all night long ... this will always be remembered.”
