Description

Blues Traveler
is an American
rock
band that formed in
Princeton, New Jersey
in 1987. The band's music spans a variety of genres, including
blues rock
,
psychedelic rock
,
folk rock
,
soul
, and
Southern rock
. They are known for extensive use of
segues
in live performances, and were considered a key part of the re-emerging
jam band
scene of the 1990s, spearheading the
H.O.R.D.E. touring music festival
.
Currently, the group comprises singer and harmonica player
John Popper
, guitarist
Chan Kinchla
, drummer
Brendan Hill
, bassist
Tad Kinchla
, and keyboardist
Ben Wilson
. Tad Kinchla and Ben Wilson joined the band following the death of original bassist
Bobby Sheehan
in 1999.
While Blues Traveler is best known among fans for their improvisational live shows, the general public is most familiar with the group from their
Top 40
singles "
Run-Around
", "
Hook
", and "
But Anyway
". They gained mainstream popularity after their fourth studio album,
four
, released in 1994 and became a
sleeper hit
almost a year later. Sheehan's death and Popper's struggle with
obesity
put a damper on the group's success, and
A&M
dropped the band in 2002. In the years following, the band has bounced around through a succession of
independent labels
and record producers, and gotten increasingly experimental with their recorded output.
