ABOUT BLUES TRAVELER
Thirty-six years ago, the four original members of Blues Traveler — John Popper, Chandler Kinchla, Brendan Hill and the late Bobby Sheehan — gathered in their drummer’s parents’ basement in Princeton, New Jersey, to jam. From these high school sessions emerged a band that would go on to release a total of 14 studio albums, four of which have gone gold, three platinum and one six-time 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 it a Grammy for “Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.” The latest album “Travelers Blues” (Round Hill Records) was released in 2021 and features reimagined and recharged classics from the American blues songbook and a few surprises. The group’s first official blues album, it was nominated for a Grammy for “Best Traditional Blues Album” in 2022.
The band’s movie credits include “Blues Brothers” 2000, “Kingpin,” “Wildflowers” and others. A television favorite, the band has been featured on “Saturday Night Live,” “Austin City Limits,” “VH1’s Behind the Music,” and it holds the record for the most appearances of any artist on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
