About Blues Traveler

            It’s not every band that is still staking out new musical territory and embracing fresh challenges more than 20 years into their career, but that’s the case with Blues Traveler.  Having long ago graduated from the jam-band underground to mainstream stardom, the iconoclastic combo has consistently stuck to its guns and played by its own rules.  Blues Traveler’s large and widely loved body of work includes eight studio albums and four live discs, six of them certified Gold or Platinum, with combined worldwide sales of more than ten million units.
