Blues Traveler

Blues Traveler is an American rock band that formed in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1987. The group is known for creative segues during live performances and pioneering the H.O.R.D.E. touring music festival. The group comprises singer and harmonica player John Popper, guitarist Chan Kinchla, drummer Brendan Hill, bassist Tad Kinchla, and keyboardist Ben Wilson. Tad Kinchla and Ben Wilson joined the band following the death of bassist Bobby Sheehan in 1999. The band have been described as blues rock, folk rock, alternative rock, and southern rock. Their singles include "But Anyway", "Run-Around", and "Hook", the latter two from their 1994 album Four which sold over six million copies worldwide. Sheehan's death and Popper's struggle with obesity put a damper on the group's mainstream success, and A&M dropped the band in 2002. Blues Traveler has remained active with a number of independent labels and record producers. Traveler's Blues, an album of blues covers, was released in July 2021, and was nominated by The Recording Academy for Best Traditional Blues album at the 2022 Grammy Awards. Their follow-up album, Traveler’s Soul, a collection of R'n'B and Soul covers, was released in October...
