Blues Traveler

J Resort - Glow Plaza 670 W 4th Street, Reno, NV, United States

Blues Traveler promises to please with their incredible soulful sound!

Blues Traveler formed in 1987 in Princeton, NJ, and has since released 14 studio albums, with several achieving gold, platinum, and even six-times platinum status, selling over 10 million units worldwide. Their live performances have reached over 30 million people and earned them a Grammy for “Run-Around,” which holds the record for the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history. Their music has been featured in films and TV shows, and their latest album, “Traveler’s Blues,” was nominated for a Grammy in 2021, marking over 35 years in the industry.

Despite the name, Blues Traveler never really did straight blues, but a jam band blend of rock and soul, funk and jazzy improvisation.

The Blues Monsters

Great Basin Brewery 846 Victorian Avenue, Reno, NV, United States

Mississippi Heat

Palisades Village 1960 Squaw Valley Road, Olympic Valley, CA, United States

Led by harmonica master and songwriter Pierre Lacocque, Mississippi Heat is a world-class Chicago Blues Band. Their motto is “Traditional Blues With A Unique Sound” as they present fresh yet vintage-based musical ideas.

MISSISSIPPI HEAT’s name is a reflection of Pierre’s reverence for Mississippi’s blues culture and music. The band’s conviction is that there is no deeper music than Delta-inspired blues to express what lies in everyone’s soul. They have received world-wide critical acclaim, including from Living Blues Magazine: “MISSISSIPPI HEAT delivers its traditional urban blues with a freshness, energy and competence that makes them a treasure on today’s Chicago scene.”

Mississippi Heat is known internationally for their passionate blues delivery. Overseas and national touring have been an integral part of their work for decades. The band has appeared at many world-famous festivals including many in the US (like the Pocono’s and the Chicago Blues Festivals), Scandinavia, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Canada, Tunisia, Finland, Venezuela and in Mexico, among many others.

Buddy Guy has gone on record saying that it’s “been a long time since I heard a good blues band like this.” And recently the band received this critical acclaim from Bonnie Tallman at the Billtown Blues Festival (Hughesville, PA): “Can’t find enough words to express how blown away everyone was with the Mississippi Heat performance! It was spectacular in every way.”

The band has made waves on the blues charts by regularly reaching the #1 spot on Living Blues Magazine’s radio charts.

Joe Bonamassa

GSR 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV, United States

Hailed internationally as one of the greatest guitar players of his generation, Guitar Magazine even dubbed bluesman Joe Bonamassa as “the world’s biggest blues guitarist.”

Bonamassa debuted at just twelve years old, when he was opening for giants like B.B. King in 1989, playing more than 20 shows on the weekends only - because he still had school.

He didn’t stay unknown for long. He has shattered all expectations with 27 #1 Billboard blues albums, more than any other artist in recorded history.

In a 2008 interview with British newspaper Express and Star, Bonamassa said, “When I heard Rod Sewart and the Jeff Beck Group singing, Let Me Love You, it changed my life. I knew exactly what I wanted to do.”

In his now 35-year career, Bonamassa has snagged three Grammy nominations for Best Blues Album (2013), Best Traditional Blues Album (2016), and Best Contemporary Blues Album (2022).

Get ready for a truly unique blues experience with fan favorites like Happier Times, Redemption, Woke Up Dreaming, Blue and Evil, and more.
