A New York-based blues-rock quaternity formed in 1988 by singer/harmonica histrion John Popper, guitar player Chan Kinchla, bassist Bobby Sheehan, and drummer Brendan Hill, Blues Traveler was parting of a resurgence of the elongated jamming dash of '60s and '70s groups like the Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin. Signed to A&M, they released their first album, Blues Traveler, in May 1990 and followed it with Travelers & Thieves in September 1991. Popper was in a serious cable car accident in 1992, going away him unable to perform for a number of months. Fortunately, he recovered, yet he still had to do in a wheelchair for a period of time. In April 1993, Blues Traveler released its third album, Save His Soul, which became its first to pee the Top one C. Blues Traveler's capably named fourth album, Four-spot, released in September 1994, at first looked like a sales disappointment, merely it rebounded in 1995 when "Gambol," a single taken from it, became the group's kickoff chart hit. "Rollick" became one and only of the biggest singles of 1995, outlay closely a broad yr on the charts and sending Quaternion into quintet pt status.


As the group prepared the review to Four, Blues Traveler released the springy double-album Live From the Fall in the summer of 1996. The grouping returned in the summer of 1997 with its one-fifth studio album, Straight on Till Morning. After complementary his 1999 debut solo campaign Zygote, Popper -- who'd been experiencing chest striving for months -- was forced to undergo an angioplasty; weeks later, tragedy struck on August 20, 1999, when Sheehan was launch dead in his New Orleans home. He was simply 31 years old. The new millennium saw a fresh 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 apartment record Truth Be Told followed in 2003, and another concert record album, Live on the Rocks, appeared in 2004. The chemical group returned to the studio in 2004, releasing the Jay Bennett-produced Bastardos in September of the following twelvemonth.
