Blues Traveler is killing it on the All Roads Runaround Tour! The Princeton, New Jersey based band stopped by the Stone Pony last night in Asbury Park and played a show that got the whole place grooving. They are on a co headlining tour with Moe and support from G Love and Special Sauce. You can absolutely see the magic on stage when all these old friends come together and jam on some of their favorite songs.
Blues Traveler took the stage for their own set, which was full of classics off their 1994 album, Four, that everyone was loving. Listening to John Popper play the harmonica gives you the sensation as if there is lightning coursing through your veins. His vocals sound fantastic and the band is just as tight as ever. They are an amazing combination of blues, folk, and great experimental jams that give this band a little something for everyone.
After Blues Traveler finished their set, they invited members of Moe out on stage to perform a set of classic covers that got the place dancing and singing along which made for an amazing night. Popper said to the crowd that this formation was still in its early stages and he wasn’t sure how it was going to go but I think everyone in attendance could agree that it was amazing. Some of the highlights were covers of the Rolling Stones Dead Flowers, Grateful Dead’s Casey Jones, and The Beatle’s Come Together. It was really something special to see a wide range of talented musicians and old friends jam together.
