Blues Traveler frontman, John Popper, is one of the greatest harmonica players of all time. And the songwriter wields his sonic skills whenever he and his New York-City-via-Princeton-New-Jersey-born band, Blues Traveler, get together to perform their hits like “Run-Around” or “Hook.”
But all that is just the surface of the band. Blues Traveler has a number of excellent albums and a number of standout tracks on those albums, which you will see below. Along with his excellent mouth harp skills, Popper is a skilled frontman, solid guitar player and his band of players in Blues Traveler rocks hard and with urgency.
