Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms

Blues Traveler returns to Ravinia after a sold-out 2023 show, bringing their signature blend of blues, rock, and soul. Since forming in 1987, the band has released 13 studio albums—four certified gold—performed over 2,000 shows for more than 30 million fans, and set a Billboard record with “Run-Around,” the longest-charting radio single in history. A staple of the 1990s jam band revival, they fuse freewheeling improvisation with razor-sharp pop melodies.

Joining them, Gin Blossoms bring their signature jangle-pop sound, delivering the timeless hooks that made New Miserable Experience a multi-platinum smash with hits like “Hey Jealousy,” “Allison Road,” and “Found Out About You.” “The reason we’re still here is that we have good songs,” says lead vocalist Robin Wilson. “It always comes down to that.”

Kicking off the night, Spin Doctors make their Ravinia debut. The alt-rock veterans are in top form, blending warm, funky grooves with infectious energy. With their new album Face Full of Cake set for 2025 and a blockbuster summer tour ahead, this 35-year-strong band proves they’re just getting started.
