The Gin Blossoms – The Grammy-nominated group, with their blend of Pop & Rock, became a musical force that helped define the sound of 90’s radio. With massive hits like “Follow You Down,” “Til I Hear It From You,” and “Hey Jealousy,” they took the airwaves by siege and held MTV hostage with multi cross-over hits in four different radio formats. After a series of charting singles, the band broke up in 1997. They reunited in 2002 and released a fourth album, Major Lodge Victory, in 2006, and a fifth, No Chocolate Cake, in 2010.
Concerts coming up next weekend…
Friday, April 18
Yonder Mountain String Band – This Colorado native foursome has always played music by their own set of rules. Blending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences that the band cites, Yonder has pioneered a sound of their own. With their traditional lineup of instruments, the band may look like a traditional bluegrass band at first glance, but they’ve created their own music that transcends any genre, as evidenced by their legions of loyal fans from the Centennial State and beyond.
