TULSA, Okla. – Grammy Award-winning rock band Blues Traveler is hitting the road this fall and will bring their signature harmonica-driven sound, high-energy jams and decades of hits to the stage at Hard Rock Live inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Friday, November 13, at 8 p.m.
Best known for chart-toppers like “Run Around,” which had the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history and earned them a Grammy for “Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals,” “Hook,” which charted at No. 23, and “But Anyway,” Blues Traveler is treating fans to a full evening of music spanning their prolific career. From breakthrough classics to deeper cuts and modern-day favorites, including those from their latest albums “Traveler’s Blues” and “Traveler’s Soul,” the former of which earned them a Grammy nod for “Best Traditional Blues Album.” The tour will celebrate of the band’s rich musical legacy – and their enduring bond with audiences across generations.
Thirty-eight years ago, the four original members of Blues Traveler – John Popper, Chandler Kinchla, Brendan Hill and the late Bobby Sheehan – gathered in their drummer’s parent’s basement in Princeton, New Jersey to jam. From these high school sessions emerged a band that would go on to release 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, Blues Traveler has played over 2,000 live shows in front of more than 30 million people.
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.
