Blues Traveler - A Tale of Two Bands
Blues Traveler has been making music for the better part of two decades. They’ve gone through a lot over the years, but they still put their heart and soul into every album and every show. In talking to Brendan, I got the feeling that this band truly appreciates their fans. It is the fans that keeps them going.

Another personal story on this one. I’ve been very lucky with these two interviews (this one and Matt from Vertical Horizon). I have personal history with both. In this case, my wife and I have been big fans of this band vor a very long time. Steph remembers seeing them as they played frat houses in Ohio. I remember Kevin Grennan walking into the cafeteria at Suffolk County Community College listening to Travelers and Thieves.
We danced to the song “Yours” from the Straight on ’til Morning CD at our wedding and my four year old son has to listen to “Dog Train” off of a kids’ CD almost every day.
It was truly a pleasure to speak to Brendan and I wish him and the band the best of luck as they continue to make music.

Here’s the latest and greatest. Mrnorth is definitely worth checking out. Originally from Dublin, you can hear the influences of U2 and The Cure. You’ll also want to check out the new live CD from the same band.
