Blues Traveler Makes 2015 Travel Plans

You can pretty much count on the act including a few tunes from its new album, Blow Up The Moon, in the setlist. Released last month, the LP is Blues Traveler’s 12^th studio effort and its first collaborative album.

“We wanted to experiment with co-writing since we usually try to do everything in-house, in this misguided homage to The Beatles,” frontman John Popper said. “We found quality writers to see what they could bring to us as a band, and also people who could see our strengths, something that’s hard to see for yourself.”

Blues Traveler worked with a range of acts on Blow Up The Moon including Thompson Square, Plain White T’s, 3OH!3, Dirty Heads, Rome Ramirez of Sublime with Rome, Hanson, Jewel, Secondhand Serenade, JC Chasez of *NSYNC, Bowling for Soup, New Hollow and Thomas Ian Nicholas.

The band has a round of dates booked in May before kicking off its summer plans with a July 4 appearance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo.

The return of H.O.R.D.E. Festival is a one-night only event in the U.S. – July 9 in Clarkston, Mich., at the DTE Energy Music Theatre. Blues Traveler will be joined by 311 and Big Head Todd & The Monsters.
