Blues Traveler & Gin Blossoms in Clearwater Beach

Blues Traveler is an American rock band formed in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1987. Their music draws on blues rock and the improvisation associated with jam bands, led by John Popper’s vocals and harmonica. The album four produced their best-known songs, “Run-Around” and “Hook.” In 1992, Blues Traveler helped create the traveling H.O.R.D.E. festival, performing on its inaugural run with Phish, Widespread Panic, the Spin Doctors and Aquarium Rescue Unit. A year later, the band began an Independence Day concert tradition at Red Rocks Amphitheatre that extended across decades. Blues Traveler has also performed at Bonnaroo in Tennessee and at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Gin Blossoms are an American alternative-rock band formed in Tempe, Arizona, in 1987. Their guitar-led jangle pop reached a wide audience through the album New Miserable Experience and songs including “Hey Jealousy,” “Found Out About You” and “Allison Road”; later releases produced “Follow You Down” and “Til I Hear It from You.” The band performed at Woodstock ’94 during its first major run of touring. After re-forming in 2001, the group returned to clubs, theatres and outdoor venues, and in 2022 joined Barenaked Ladies and Toad the Wet Sprocket on the Last Summer on Earth tour.
