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.

Blackbird is a multi-award-winning alternative rock band redefining the live music experience with their explosive sound and unforgettable performances. Fronted by brothers Cody and Caleb Blackbird, the group blends gritty rock energy with the soaring voice of the Native American flute, creating a signature style they call Alter-Native Rock Fusion. Blackbird’s latest album, Existence is Resistance, produced by Weezer co-founder Jason Cropper, features three songs with Blues Traveler’s John Popper.
