Still on the road, Blues Traveler rocks the Riviera with 30th anniversary tour celebrating the magic of ‘Four.’ While musical history was on the bill that night, the show also featured an appearance by the fast-rising multi-instrumentalist Vanessa Collier as the opening act.
‘Double Measures’ is an intriguing and very special album with a raw authenticity courtesy of Jen Clark’s expert production, tracking the band live in her attic studio. Liz has a voice and a band of musicians steeped in the blues.
Music is often the great equalizer. And for two and a half hours on a beautiful November evening in Chicago, it was just that as the Truckers revisited the entirety of ‘Southern Rock Opera.’ Interspersed throughout the songs, Hood was not afraid to draw parallels between the issues addressed in the 2001 album and those that still permeate through America today.

‘Living The Blues,’ released through his very own Marshall Records, is out now!
