(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Following Grammy-Award Winning Blues Traveler's Summer tour with Big Head Todd and the Monsters, the six-time Platinum-selling rockers have their own Fall 2023 U.S. run. The seminal band will embark on a cross-country routing that kicks off in Cherry Point, NC on October 19 before culminating in the South in Nashville, TN on November 21. Locally, the band will perform at the Grunin Center for the Arts in Toms River on Friday, October 27, 2023.
During the Fall 2023 Tour, fans will hear a smattering of smash singles spanning more than three decades, including such Billboard-topping hits as “Hook” and “But Anyway,” as well as new, jam-infused renditions of some of their favorite classic blues songs, originally recorded by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Freddie King, Big Mama Thornton, and Little Willie John, featured on their latest Grammy-nominated album Travelers Blue’s.
Joining Blues Traveler as a special guest is Americana singer-songwriter and Producer Jono Manson.
Tickets for the show at the Grunin Center range from $65 to $100 and will be available for purchase online starting Wednesday, July 12, 2023 at noon. The Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts is located on the Ocean County College campus (College Drive) in Toms River, New Jersey.
36 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, 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.
