Blues Traveler
Nearly 4 decades ago ago, the four original members of Blues Traveler—John Popper, Chandler Kinchla, Brendan Hill, and the late Bobby Sheehan—gathered in their drummer’s parents' 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. Over an illustrious career, Blues Traveler has played over 2,000 live shows in front of more than 30 million people, and, in “Run-Around,” had the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history, which earned them a Grammy® for “Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.” In 2021 Blues Traveler released the Grammy®-nominated Traveler’s Blues (Round Hill Records), a collection of reimagined and recharged classics from the American blues songbook, and the group’s first official blues album. The second release in this series, 2023’s Traveler’s Soul, takes a similar approach- consisting of cover songs from a specific genre, this time classic R&B and Soul.
Gin Blossoms
Formed in Tempe, Arizona in 1987, Gin Blossoms helped define alternative radio in the early ‘90s with their breakout major-label debut New Miserable Experience. Led by the gold-certified hit “Hey Jealousy,” the album went on to sell more than four million copies, delivering enduring singles like “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away” and cementing the band as power-pop mainstays. Their hometown legacy was officially recognized in October 2022, when Tempe unveiled an honorary street sign renaming a section of 8th Street between Rural Road and Una Avenue as “Allison Road Avenue,” celebrating both the beloved song and the album’s 30th anniversary.
They followed with the platinum-selling Congratulations I’m Sorry, featuring the Top 10 smash “Follow You Down” and the GRAMMY®-nominated “As Long as It Matters.” Decades later, their jangly guitars, sharp hooks, and emotionally resonant songwriting still hit with the same immediacy. Made up of Robin Wilson, Jesse Valenzuela, Bill Leen, and Scotty Johnson, Gin Blossoms continue to evolve without losing the sound that made them essential. Their latest album, Mixed Reality (produced by Don Dixon and engineered by Mitch Easter), delivers 15 new tracks packed with chiming melodies, wry lyricism, and undeniable heart, proving the band is as vital now as ever.
Inducted into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2017, Gin Blossoms remain road-tested and fan-driven, touring relentlessly and sharing stages with Collective Soul, Barenaked Ladies, and Hootie & The Blowfish. Reuniting once again with Blues Traveler for this year’s tour, the longtime collaborators are building on the momentum of last summer, when they took over the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage for an epic mashup — an electric reminder that Gin Blossoms continue to turn nostalgia into something unmistakably alive.
Spin Doctors
Spin Doctors’ first album in 12 years, Face Full of Cake, marks a revitalized new chapter for the legendary alt-rock band, combining their signature warm, funky sound with an abundance of fresh hooks and renewed creative energy. Released on Capitol Records, the album reunites longtime members Chris Barron, Eric Schenkman, and Aaron Comess while introducing bassist Jack Daley, whose groove-driven style helped spark a low-pressure, joy-filled recording process that began during the early months of the pandemic and culminated in sessions in Asbury Park. The result is a breezy, confident collection that reflects both the band’s decades of experience and a sense of rediscovery, capturing the effortless chemistry that has defined Spin Doctors for more than 35 years. With a major summer tour ahead, Face Full of Cake signals not a nostalgic return, but a forward-looking moment for a band that still sounds inspired and fully in motion.

Known for an immaculately crafted but endlessly surprising sound that transcends the boundaries of roots, country, rock & roll, and pop, Alison Krauss & Union Station released their highly anticipated new album, Arcadia, in 2025. This marked their first studio album since the 2011 masterpiece Paper Airplane—a critically lauded, multiple Grammy Award winning LP that debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass, and Folk Album charts. Over the years, Alison Krauss & Union Station have brought their phenomenal live show to sold-out performances at famed venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Greek Theatre, Radio City Music Hall, and London’s Royal Festival Hall, in addition to supporting Paul Simon in Hyde Park for his 2012 Graceland reunion. They now continue the celebration of their new music with the Arcadia 2026 Tour.
The players – Alison Krauss (fiddle, lead vocal), Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar, vocals), Barry Bales (bass, vocals), and highly acclaimed and celebrated tenor vocalist Russell Moore (guitar, mandolin, lead vocal) – are five distinct personalities, each of whom enjoys a flourishing solo career.

Young rising Country singer Logan Michael has taken humble beginnings and turned them into a burgeoning career as one of the top new faces in the genre. His cutting icy baritone, mixed with lovesick lyrics about the frenetic and toxic uncertainty of young love and heartbreak has captured people’s attention, leading Michael to tap into the next generation of Country fans and beyond.
Originally breaking out on TikTok with his viral single “Angel Wings” Michael has been using the platform consistently to grow his fanbase, notching over 300,000 followers by posting clips of his songs with captions that resonate with his audience. While Michael is enjoying the ride of becoming a breakout artist, for him, it’s about making his version of the music he loved growing up.
As a kid in the town of North Attleboro, Massachusetts, Michael remembers listening to his dad’s old Alan Jackson CDs, eventually leading to teaching himself guitar in high school. “I would say the reason I make country is partially my upbringing and what I listened to growing up but also just the meaning and stories country songs bring to the table,” Michael said. “You can tell a real story in each song and there’s just something about it that’s special to me. It’s real.”
Realness is what Logan values the most in music. His heartfelt track “Leave Me Alone” details the struggle of allowing love into your life when you feel unworthy and poisonous to the idea of people getting close to you, grappling with finding solace in your darkest times.
After releasing his EP “Hope For Tomorrow” in October 2022 and delivering a few buzzing singles (“Another Go”, “Whiskey Serenade” and another breakout song “Breaking Point”) in 2023, Michael surpassed 1 million Spotify monthly listeners. He released “Said and Done” and “Have A Nice Day” in 2024 and signed a record deal with Rebel Music/ Gamma in 2025 while releasing new songs that include “I Met This Girl” and “Make It” as well as a new project in the works. He has been tapping in with big names and preparing for a year of headline touring in 2025 after going on the road with artists like Gavin Adcock, Chayce Beckham, Brantley Gilbert, Tyler Hubbard and Kidd G, something he’s been looking forward to for quite some time. He hopes to bring the connection he fosters on social media into a live intimate setting. “I could be singing to 20 people or 20,000 as long as someone feels what I’m saying that’s good enough for me.”
With a soulful twang to his vocals and a tireless work ethic that keeps him consistently delivering for his listeners, Michael’s limitless potential is set to blossom into a fully-fledged new school rising star in Nashville.
