Last year, Blues Traveler celebrated the 30^th anniversary of its Grammy-winning “Run-Around” hit with a huge tour. This year, the band originally from Princeton has added a slew of dates with Gin Blossoms, about which frontman John Popper says, “It’s rare when a package feels so much like home that it carries a spirit which becomes tangible to an audience. That was the case — by all accounts — regarding our summer tour last year with Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms.”

Blues Traveler has traveled a long way since they started in the basement of their drummer’s house in Princeton 39 years ago. John Popper, Chandler Kinchia, Brendan Hill and Bobby Sheehan [1968-1999] were only jamming at the time. Little did they know their fun would take them around the world, playing over 2,000 concerts in front of over 30 million fans, record 14 albums, sell over 10 million and win a Grammy.
