What they’re saying

“It's rare when a package feels so much like home that it carries a spirit which becomes tangible to an audience. That was the case — by all accounts — regarding our summer tour last year with Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms. We grew up with Spin Doctors as pups in the same litter… ours is a shared origin story. But working with Gin Blossoms was a first. Their music was everywhere when we were coming up, and yet only last summer did we have the opportunity to learn how fun it is playing with them — and to discover how much energy our three bands put out in combination. So, we've decided to take this show everywhere we missed last year. We're excited to bring it to you.”

— John Popper, of Blues Traveler

“Back by popular demand! We had such a blast last summer with Gin Blossoms and Spin Doctors and all of you beautiful people that we decided to bring the tour to the half of the country we missed. Can't wait for another amazing summer!”

— Chan Kinchla, Guitarist, Blues Traveler

“Same tour 2 summers in a row. I've never even heard of this happening before. It is a testament to the strength of the lineup. We're all friends, we're gonna sell a lot of tickets, and it will be a blast.”

— Robin Wilson, Vocalist, Gin Blossoms

“We are absolutely stoked to hit the road this summer with our old pals and 90s cohorts Gin Blossoms and Blues Traveler. It's gonna be epic. As far as I know, it's pretty unprecedented for the same tour to go out two summers in a row. I'm glad it's happening because it's nice to know that while we were having a ball, the audiences were as well. For sure it's gonna be the ticket of the summer.”

— Chris Barron, Frontman, Spin Doctors

“We had so much fun last summer on this tour we're doing it again. Get ready for lots more collaborations, hit songs, and killer jams.”

— Aaron Comess, Drummer, Spin Doctors
