Traveler's Blues
For most bands, covering Blues Traveler is a challenge. For Travelers Blues, it's a passion! The band began when guitarist Scott Hardy had what he and his friends thought was a moonshot idea, however it was an idea worth considering! He put his thoughts on social media with an ambitious goal: find talent capable of honoring the signature blend of powerful vocals and mind-bending harmonica solos that define the sound of John Popper. Seemingly overnight, things started falling in place.
Established in mid 2025, Atlanta based Traveler's Blues faithfully reproduces the blend of blues, rock, and improvisational jams that identify Blues Traveler's sound. To achieve this, two musicians pouring their talents into a single alchemy yields John Popper's iconic technique. David Fisch (The Bent Hooks, The Core - H.O.R.D.E. Festival Revival), is a seasoned harmonica player who captures the spirit of Popper's unique riffs, combined with Chris Iconis (The Amazing Mongooses, The Platonics, Moontower, and the New Originals), delivering vocals, guitar, and keyboards with soulful and powerful conviction.
On guitar is Scott Hardy (Pushback, Moonlight Ride), who channels the distinctive style of Chan Kinchla. On bass is the incomparable Jerbo Foti (Frankly Scarlet), deciphering the otherworldly Bobby Sheehan. And on drums is Alek Gayton, a polished drummer who brings the hard-hitting beats and grooves of Brendan Hill.
Traveler's Blues has their sights set on venues, music halls, and festivals throughout the Southeastern US (GA, FL, AL, SC, TN). Follow the band on Facebook: "Traveler's Blues - Tribute to Blues Traveler" for alerts, promotions, and bookings near you!
