35 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, NJ 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-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." 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.
