Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms & Spin Doctors at Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms & Spin Doctors

2026 is a significant year for three of the biggest ‘90s American bands. For Blues Traveler, they’re coming from a big three-decade anniversary of their breakthrough hit Run Around. For Gin Blossoms, their upcoming live performances will resemble the time they dominated alternative rock radio, and they’re ready to reunite with their loyal listeners. Spin Doctors is all geared up to open again for Blues Traveler, just like the good old times. This concert will kick off their five highly demanded tour dates here in New York!

Blues Traveler

Composed of five members, this rock band from New Jersey gained attention from music lovers because of their remarkable segues during their live concerts. Their hit singles Hook, Run Around, and But Anyway showcase their unique blend of blues rock, folk rock, and alternative rock. Known for being generous with their live audiences, Blues Traveler is one of the few bands that allow recordings during their live performances. This summer, they’re bringing more than a dozen of their songs to life on this tour, and frontman John Popper is elated to come back on the road with the Gin Blossoms. He shared, “...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.”

Gin Blossoms

Gin Blossoms’ music was all over the radio when Blues Traveler was still trying to make it in the industry. Their first single, Hey Jealousy, became an instant hit, reaching the top 25 and becoming a gold record. Their first album, New Miserable Experience, went quadruple platinum, and they shaped the sound of alternative rock and power pop for an era. Described as a “road band”, Rolling Stone complimented the band’s exceptional ability of “marrying world-weary lyrics with ebullient melodies”. Like Blues Traveler, they’re bringing a setlist composed of a dozen songs that reflect their charting singles and Grammy-nominated hits.

Guest Performer

Spin Doctors

All of the audience’s pockets will be full of kryptonite when Spin Doctors go on stage to perform seven of their biggest tracks, including Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong and Two Princes. In their early days, they often performed with Blues Traveler as their double-bill openers, with the two bands jamming together for some songs.
