Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms are performing at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre with Spin Doctors on Friday, September 4, 2026.
About Blues Traveler
Nearly 4 decades 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, they have played more than 2,000 live shows in front of over 30 million people. And, with “Run-Around”, they achieved the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history — earning the band a GRAMMY® for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. In 2021, Blues Traveler released the GRAMMY®-nominated ‘Traveler’s Blues’, 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.
About Gin Blossoms
Gin Blossoms helped define alternative radio in the early ’90s with their breakout major-label debut ‘New Miserable Experience’. Led by the gold-certified hit “Hey Jealousy”, the album went on to sell more than four million copies, delivering enduring singles like “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away” … and cementing the band as power-pop mainstays. They followed with the platinum-selling ‘Congratulations I’m Sorry’, featuring the Top 10 smash “Follow You Down” and the GRAMMY®-nominated “As Long as It Matters”.
Decades later, their jangly guitars, sharp hooks, and emotionally resonant songwriting still hit with the same immediacy. Made up of Robin Wilson, Jesse Valenzuela, Bill Leen, and Scotty Johnson, Gin Blossoms continue to evolve without losing the sound that made them essential. Their latest album, ‘Mixed Reality’ (produced by Don Dixon and engineered by Mitch Easter), delivers 15 new tracks packed with chiming melodies, wry lyricism, and undeniable heart, proving the band is as vital now as ever.
