Good news for Blues Traveler fans: The John Popper Project is heading out on tour. No NY dates yet, but given Popper's following here, that will probably change.
The tour has good timing: A new documentary on the now-defunct New York rock club Wetlands Preserve (titled "Wetlands Preserved") is reminding fans of the nascent days of the jam-band scene, when acts like Blues Traveler, Phish, Spin Doctors and Dave Matthews were still under-the-radar phenomena playing small clubs for stoned, barefoot, ever-twirling fans. The Popper Project may get some additional buzz (buzz, get it?) from the film. And the band is touring with Wetlands regular DJ Logic in tow.
So far, Popper has scheduled seven nights, all in Colorado, between Mar. 25 and Apr. 2.
Listen to the track "Took," from the group's self-titled debut (released by Relix Records, the music arm of the classic-rock mag, whose editor just happened to direct that documentary), here.
