GIN BLOSSOMS
Gin Blossoms is an American alternative rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. The band rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label debut album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, "Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold. New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple pla0num and three other char0ng singles were released from the album including "Allison Road" and "Until I Fall Away". The band's follow-up album, Congratulations I'm Sorry (1996), went platinum including the Grammy nominated "As Long as It Matters" and the top 10 single “Follow You Down”. Gin Blossoms continue to tour every year and in recent years have shared the stage with Collective Soul, Barenaked Ladies and Hootie & The Blowfish.
BLUES TRAVELER
In 1987 the four original members of Blues Traveler—John Popper, Chandler Kinchla,
Brendan Hill, and the late Bobby Sheehan—gathered in their drummer’s parent’s
basement in Princeton, NJ to jam. From these high school sessions emerged a band
that would go on to release 14 studio albums and counting, four of which have gone
gold, three platinum, and one six-times platinum-selling more than 10 million combined units worldwide. Over an illustrious career Blues Traveler has played over 2,000 live shows in front of more than 30 million people, and, in “Run-Around,” had the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history, which earned them a Grammy® for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Their movie credits include Blues Brothers 2000, Kingpin, Wildflowers and others. A television favorite, they have been featured on Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits, VH1's Behind the Music and they have the record for the most appearances of any artist on The Late Show with David Letterman. Blues Traveler’s latest effort, 2021’s Traveler’s Blues, is nominated for a Grammy in the category of “Best Traditional Blues Album,” bringing their 35+ year journey full circle.
