Blues Traveler blends blues, rock, and soul with jam band improvisation and pop melodies, earning platinum success with their 1994 album Four and the Top Ten hit “Run-Around.” Pioneers of the ’90s jam band scene, they launched the influential H.O.R.D.E. Festival. Formed in 1987, the band continues to evolve while honoring their blues roots, as showcased in their cover albums Traveler’s Blues and Traveler’s Soul. Known for classics like “Hook” and “But Anyway,” John Popper, Chan Kinchla, Brendan Hill, Tad Kinchla, and Ben Wilson remain a dynamic force in modern blues-based rock.
