Formed while the four members were high school classmates in Princeton, New Jersey, Blues Traveler came of age after graduating and jointly moving to New York City climbing their way up from playing open-mic nights to become one of the Big Apple's biggest attractions.
fter releasing their self-titled debut, "Blues Traveler," in 1990, the band took to the road, their base of dedicated followers steadily growing as they shared bills with bands such as Phish, Widespread Panic and the Dave Matthews Band. Then Popper had his epiphany: Why shouldn't all these improv-based bands get together for a formal tour? And so was born the H.O.R.D.E. tour, beginning humbly in 1992, with eight East Coast dates each averaging 7,500 fans. Five years later, it is a certified smash, having featured the Allman Brothers, the Black Crowes, Sheryl Crow and Melissa Etheridge, along with the original crop of bands, most of whom have gone on to huge, popular success.
On July 1, 1997, A&M Records released the sixth record from Blues Traveler titled "Straight On Till Morning." From the swamp boogie howl of the lead single "Carolina Blues," to the hauntingly hooky "Canadian Rose" the depth of writing and solid performances ooze from every note on "Straight On Till Morning."
Since signing to A&M in 1989, the band has emerged as a word of mouth phenomenon due to the simple fact that fans connected to the band's mood and music. In 1992, after all of the big summer touring headliners had passed on Blues Traveler as a support act, lead singer John Popper started the H.O.R.D.E. Festival, which grew into the #4 grossing US tour of the 1996 summer.
On their fourth studio record, the band was finally commercially acknowledged as A&M broke two Top 10 singles, "Run-around" and "Hook," and sold more than six million copies of the 1994 release "Four." As the group prepared the follow-up to Four, Blues Traveler released the live double-album Live From the Fall in the summer of 1996. The group returned in the summer of 1997 with its fifth studio album, Straight on Till Morning. The new millennium saw a newly charged Blues Traveler, and their sixth record, Bridge, appeared in May 2001. The next winter, Blues Traveler released the live What You and I Have Been Through. The studio record Truth Be Told followed in 2003, and another concert album, Live on the Rocks, appeared in 2004. The group returned to the studio in 2004, releasing the Jay Bennett-produced Bastardos.
