ABOUT BLUES TRAVELER:
In 1987, the four original members of Blues Traveler—John Popper, Chandler Kinchla, Brendan Hill, and the late Bobby Sheehan—gathered in their drummer’s parent’s basement in Princeton, NJ, to jam. From these high school sessions emerged a band that would go on to release 14 studio albums and counting, 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. Their movie credits include Blues Brothers 2000, Kingpin, Wildflowers, and others. A television favorite, they have been featured on Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits, VH1's Behind the Music and they have the record for the most appearances of any artist on The Late Show with David Letterman. Blues Traveler’s latest effort, 2021’s Traveler’s Blues, is nominated for a Grammy in the category of “Best Traditional Blues Album,” bringing their 35-year journey full circle.
ABOUT JUSTYN PRIEST:
Justyn Priest is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter from Sandpoint, Idaho now residing in Nine Mile Falls, Washington. His journey in music began at age 15 with an electric guitar and amp from a local music and floral shop. A few lessons from a local music store teacher and some help from a neighbor led to live performances within just a year of picking up the instrument. From the mountains of North Idaho and Montana to the shores of Washington, Oregon, and Southern California, Priest has played with numerous bands across many genres. After establishing himself as one of the best guitarists in the region, he decided to strike out on his own with songwriting and performance. His diverse original style blends classic rock, blues, funk, and soul into intense moments of storytelling and highly adept guitar work. Priest is an up-and-coming artist who is not to be missed.
