Blues Traveler & Gin Blossoms

Blues Traveler — who last year celebrated 30 years since the single release of their GRAMMY Award-winning breakthrough hit “Run-Around,” a milestone highlighted in a Rolling Stone interview with frontman John Popper — will join Gin Blossoms, whose quadruple-platinum album “New Miserable Experience” helped define ‘90s alternative radio, for this highly-anticipated run.

In addition, returning from last year’s lineup, the tour features legendary alternative rock band Spin Doctors, commemorating this year the 35th anniversary of their multi-platinum debut “Pocket Full of Kryptonite,” home to the chart-topping, GRAMMY-nominated hit “Two Princes.”

Over an illustrious career, Blues Traveler has played more than two-thousand live shows in front of over 30 million people and, with “Run-Around,” achieved the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history — earning the band a GRAMMY for “Best Rock Performance” by a Duo or Group with Vocals. In 2021, Blues Traveler released the GRAMMY-nominated “Traveler’s Blues” (Round Hill Records), a collection of reimagined and recharged classics from the American blues songbook and the group’s first official blues album. The second release in this series, 2023’s “Traveler’s Soul,” takes a similar approach, consisting of cover songs from a specific genre — this time classic R&B and soul.

Formed in Tempe, Arizona in 1987, Gin Blossoms helped define alternative radio in the early ‘90s with their breakout major-label debut “New Miserable Experience.” Led by the gold-certified hit “Hey Jealousy,” the album went on to sell more than four million copies, delivering enduring singles like “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away” and cementing the band as power-pop mainstays. Their hometown legacy was officially recognized in October 2022, when Tempe unveiled an honorary street sign renaming a section of 8th Street between Rural Road and Una Avenue as “Allison Road Avenue,” celebrating both the beloved song and the album’s 30th anniversary.
