Blues Traveler Live in Lake Charles, This Weekend!
KNGT | Lake Charles, LA — If you’ve been waiting on a good live show to hit, this one right here might be your excuse to grab some friends and get out the house this weekend in Southwest Louisiana.
The legendary Blues Traveler is rolling back through, and they’re bringing that same sound folks have loved for years. Hard to believe, but this band got their start almost 40 years ago… just a group of high school kids hanging out in a basement in Princeton, New Jersey. That’s where John Popper, Chandler Kinchla, Brendan Hill, and the late Bobby Sheehan started jamming and figuring things out.
Since those early days, Blues Traveler has dropped 14 studio albums. Not just a couple hits here and there… we’re talking gold records, platinum records, and one that went six-times platinum. That’s over 10 million albums sold worldwide. That ain’t luck. That’s years of grinding it out and making music people actually feel.
If you’ve ever heard their song “Run-Around,” you already know. That track didn’t just do good… it made history. It became the longest-charting radio single ever on Billboard at the time and even brought home a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. That’s the kind of song that sticks with you, no matter how many years go by.
And here’s the thing… they still bring it live.
We’re talking over 2,000 shows played and more than 30 million fans who’ve seen them in person. That energy don’t just disappear. When they hit the stage, it still feels real. Still feels like a band that loves what they do.
Who's Playing at L'Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles This Weekend?
Blues Traveler will be live on May 9 at 8PM at the L'Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles Event Center. It’s a 21 and up show, so make it a night out. Grab your crew, maybe hit dinner first, then roll in ready to hear some classics and maybe a few surprises too.
If you like real music… the kind you can sing along to and feel in your chest… this is one of those shows you don’t wanna miss.
