Gin Blossoms and Toad The Wet Sprocket to Kick Off 2024 Tour

by Em Casalena March 16, 2024, 10:57 am

Gin Blossom fans were left with a bit of disappointment back in 2022 when the band had to cut their New Miserable Experience 30th Anniversary Tour short after bassist Bill Leen suffered a broken arm. The band went on a brief tour with Sugar Ray last year, but some fans might have missed it. Luckily, it looks like the band is finally back on tour again this year!

TOUR DATES:

Gin Blossoms

About Gin Blossoms: Gin Blossoms, an American alternative rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. The band rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label debut album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold. New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple platinum and three other charting singles were released from the album including “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away.” The band’s follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996), went platinum including the GRAMMY-nominated “As Long as It Matters” and the Top 10 single “Follow You Down.” Gin Blossoms continue to tour every year and in recent years have shared the stage with Collective Soul, Barenaked Ladies and Hootie & The Blowfish.

Toad The Wet Sprocket

About Toad The Wet Sprocket: Toad The Wet Sprocket – the trio of founding members Glen Phillips, Todd Nichols, and Dean Dinning – is still making new music and touring with the same spirit of unwavering independence that started it all over three decades ago. This year marks a new milestone in their journey with the 30th anniversary of the 1994 platinum selling album Dulcinea. After the success of fear (1991) the band re-teamed with producer Gavin MacKillop to record an album inspired by the sound that they had developed from their recent touring. Released in 1994, Dulcinea was certified platinum by the RIAA, and both singles “Fall Down” and “Something’s Always Wrong” charted on the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts. The band will celebrate Dulcinea throughout the year on tour with many songs from “Dulcinea” played in the band’s live set every night on tour. Toad The Wet Sprocket share in the kind of musical chemistry that can only come from meeting in high school and writing, recording, and touring on albums over the course of time. After Bread & Circus, they followed with Pale in 1990, fear in ’91, Dulcinea in 1994, and Coil in 1997, as well as some compilations along the way. Their most recent releases are Starting Now (2021), New Constellation (2013), and EP The Architect of Ruin (2015). In 2023, they released the remastered greatest hits album All You Want.

Vertical Horizon

About Vertical Horizon: Vertical Horizon was founded in the early 1990s, but it was seven years before lead singer Matt Scannell’s songs became the radio hits that brought the popular grass roots band to national attention. Vertical Horizon released three albums independently (There and Back Again, Running on Ice, and Live Stages) and toured extensively before signing with RCA Records in 1998. In 1999, they released their breakout album, Everything You Want, which went on to sell more than two million copies. The second single off the CD, the title track “Everything You Want,” captured the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Adult Top 40 charts, and became Billboard’s Most Played Single of 2000. Having carved out a page in the annals of music history the band garnered further radio attention with “You’re a God” (#4 on Billboard’s Adult Chart) and “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning).” In 2005, “Best I Ever Had” became a top 20 country hit for country star Gary Allan. Their 2009 album Burning the Days was critically acclaimed and produced two Hot AC radio singles, “Save Me from Myself” and “The Lucky One.” In 2013, Vertical Horizon released Echos From the Underground, named after a lyric from the song “Evermore.” In February 2018, Vertical Horizon released their latest album, The Lost Mile.

Gin Blossoms

gin blossoms tour opening act

Sophie B. Hawkins burst onto the international music scene with her 1992 platinum-selling debut album,  Tongues and Tails , which included the indelible hit song  Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover,  and earned her a  Best New Artist  Grammy nomination.

The last three decades have brought multiple awards, sold out concerts, appearances on film and television, performances with some of the best known names in the business, a documentary feature, a critically-lauded tour-de-force performance as Janis Joplin in the nationally-touring play  Room 105,  songs appearing in hit films and TV shows, and five more albums, including  Whaler,  which featured the record-breaking longest-running single in Billboard Adult Contemporary chart history, the Number One hit,  As I Lay Me Down.  Much more than just a singer, Sophie writes all of her own songs, is a multi-instrumentalist, and has been fully involved in every aspect of the production of her records herself, from background vocals and playing her own instruments, to engineering and production of her albums.  She has proved an enduring artist with a fierce commitment to artistic integrity while both constantly evolving, and remaining steadfastly true to her own authentic history and experience which connects her to her fans at the very deepest levels.

“The passions, strength, and spiritual beauty that your music and performance possess is something I respect deeply, look up to, and after my 29-year long journey of survival in darkness, I am so grateful for your own courage, strength, and honesty which helps those of us who are battling our own ghosts and demons from the past.”  –  Shanda, Massachusetts, USA

I listen to your music whenever I feel I am alone because you make me feel like I am not. I listen to your music when I feel I need to be strong because you make me feel strong.  – Jill, Michigan, USA

Sophie’s interest in music started as a four-year-old obsessed with drums. Her love of music and the need to connect with and through it came into her consciousness as early as second grade. “I really remember this moment so well,” Sophie reminisces. “I was living in New York, listening to Bob Dylan and I put on my father’s dark sunglasses and I started to cry underneath them. I said to myself, ‘I want to be that,’ and “that” was a song. I wanted to be a song. I didn’t want to be Bob Dylan. I didn’t want to be the voice or the instrument.  I wanted to be the song, the need and the depth and the whole story of a song. It’s strange that I would say that now because I still feel like I’m living life as stories.”

At fourteen, Sophie’s early desire to learn drums returned with great urgency.  “I knew I had to play African drums – I found an African drum teacher and then from that moment on I practiced as much as I could every day and I never stopped.  The thing is, I never even thought becoming a songwriter would be part of my journey.”

“After three years of creative battles and fan support, Sony Music finally released Sophie B. Hawkins’s third album, Timbre, in the summer of 1999. Having worked with producers like Rick Chertoff (best known for his work with Cyndi Lauper and Joan Osborne) and Stephen Lipson (Annie Lennox), Hawkins decided to take complete control of her third effort. The result is a strange palette: both dark and colorful, haunting and uplifting, Timbre is a middleground between the brilliant complexities and rawness of her debut, Tongues & Tails and the radio-friendly pop of Whaler.  – Slant Magazine

“The album showcases a singer who has honed and gathered her various vocal styles — somber folk singer, saucy pop gal, note-bending jazz chanteuse — into a sleek, multifaceted whole. And let it be noted, without taking sides in the dispute that put Timbre on hold, that the banjo on “Lose Your Way” works just fine.”  – Rolling Stone

“It’s emotionally bold…”  – Entertainment Weekly

gin blossoms tour opening act

“Hawkins made an interesting transition to indie artist, and on her latest she expands her already-broad horizons as a writer and performer. Wilderness makes a strong case for Sophie B. Hawkins’ evolving talents—major label or no.”  – Paste Magazine

“Sophie B. Hawkins lightens up on ‘Wilderness’  with a sound and aura evocative of Laura Nyro and Nina Simone.”  – Philadelphia Daily News

“Her best moments come when her fanciful pop orchestrations offer plenty of compensation, as on the evocative ‘Surfer Girl,’ or when her lyrics sound so effortlessly offhand they could pass for something composed by Paul Simon.”  – Washington Post

“Sophie B. Hawkins can always be counted on to create music that plays against the prevailing cultural forces. Her new CD Wilderness is all love, light and playfulness – and it’s a pleasure listening to it.”  – Chicago Free Press

“Delightfully unorthodox yet keenly melodic, Wilderness finds Hawkins once again making her own distinctive mark on the musical landscape.”  –  Barnes & Noble

About Gin Blossoms

The Gin Blossoms have undoubtedly left their mark on the Rock music map. The Grammy nominated band’s fusion of Melodic Rock, Pop, Folk and Country elements has helped pave the way for the modern Rock of today.

Fans around the world are very familiar with Gin Blossoms’ five-time Platinum breakthrough album New Miserable Experience, containing gems like “Until I Fall Away,” “Found Out About You,”  “Hey Jealousy” and “Allison Road.” Those hit tracks were followed up by the Empire Records Platinum Soundtrack hit, “Til I Hear It From You.” In 1996, the singles “Follow you Down” and “As Long As It Matters,” hit the radio again in a huge way, making their Congratulations I’m Sorry record another platinum success. Their latest release, 2018’s Mixed Reality, shares that same timeless feel, packed with 15 songs.

Gin Blossoms hits have crossed over in five different formats, taking the airwaves by siege, and held the MTV playlist captive for most of the 90s. Boasting record sales of over 10 million, the band continues to burn up the road performing over 100 tour dates per year. Don’t miss all these great hit songs, a sampling of new music, and a rockin’ the house down show!

Their most recent releases are Starting Now (2021), New Constellation (2013), and EP The Architect of Ruin (2015). In 2023, they released the remastered greatest hits album All You Want.

About Vertical Horizon:

Vertical Horizon was founded in the early 1990s, but it was seven years before lead singer Matt Scannell's songs became the radio hits that brought the popular grass roots band to national attention. Vertical Horizon released three albums independently (There and Back Again, Running on Ice, and Live Stages) and toured extensively before signing with RCA Records in 1998. In 1999, they released their breakout album, Everything You Want, which went on to sell more than two million copies.

The second single off the CD, the title track “Everything You Want,” captured the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 and Adult Top 40 charts, and became Billboard's Most Played Single of 2000. Having carved out a page in the annals of music history the band garnered further radio attention with “You're a God” (#4 on Billboard's Adult Chart) and “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning).” In 2005, “Best I Ever Had” became a top 20 country hit for country star Gary Allan.

Their 2009 album Burning the Days was critically acclaimed and produced two Hot AC radio singles, “Save Me from Myself” and “The Lucky One.” In 2013, Vertical Horizon released Echos From the Underground, named after a lyric from the song “Evermore.” In February 2018, Vertical Horizon released their latest album, The Lost Mile.

Recent tour reviews

I saw them about three years ago and the lead singer was miserable as far as his demeanor on stage. It was obvious he didn’t want to be there. This time was a complete turn around. He was jovial and made the audience laugh. The fact that they started out with new material, played all of New Miserable Experience in order, Til I Hear It From You, a cover, and Follow You Down, I feel they played everything I wanted to hear! His voice still sounds just like the albums. Great show!

Beyond amazing show at Maryland Live! Center Stage. This was my 4th time seeing Gin Blossoms and they consistently put on a fantastic show, start to finish. The energy level is always high, and Robin (lead singer) is one of the best I’ve seen at keeping an audience engaged. I started dancing my butt off during the first song and didn’t stop until they left the stage after the encore.

If you only know them for one or two songs, GO AND SEE THIS BAND. They will win you over with their whole catalog.

This was the first concert I've been to in a few years. The show was AWESOME! The band sounds as amazing as ever, and the energy Robin has is great. He gave a sweet little girl a tambourine and she was thrilled. After he came out for an encore,he sang I Want It That Way acoustically,by himself,and the band returned for three more songs. Robin signed the tambourine and Scott gave her a drumstick. Robin was high fiving and talking to the audience the entire show and even came down into the audience (although sadly not on our side of the theater. )If you have the opportunity to see The Gin Blossoms DEFINATLY go,you will not regret it. My friend and I will DEFINATLY be watching to see whe they perform near us again!

The Gin Blossoms New Years Eve at Ridgefield Playhouse

The Gin Blossoms broke out in the early 90s with their album, New Miserable Experience. That album is now certified 4x Platinum and includes their biggest hits to date, “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About You.” The band is known for their bright, guitar-driven hooks layered with their lyrics that evoke nostalgia while bringing a fresh take. Their classic yet modern approach to indie music in the late 90s and early 2000s is arguably what led them to being radio mainstays for more than two decades.

After their performance to 60,000 people at Sound on Sound Festival in Bridgeport, the Gin Blossoms are bringing their music to our intimate, 500 seat theater for a special performance that will ring in the new year.

We hope you can join us for this memorable evening at the Playhouse!

New Miserable Experience

Gin Blossoms New Miserable Experience

By Evan Rytlewski

March 3, 2024

The guitarist who wrote the album’s biggest songs isn’t on the cover of Gin Blossoms ’ New Miserable Experience , but the tour van he once poured sugar into the gas tank of is. By the time the band had finished their long, uncertain climb to the top of the charts, they’d fired Doug Hopkins, and he spent the rest of his short life rueing their success and decrying their betrayal. He’d founded the group and written half their album, including the two achingly personal hits that made them famous. They were profiting off of not only his work but his experiences—his suffering, fuck-ups, and humiliations.

New Miserable Experience went on to go quadruple platinum, and the album cover was just the last in the endless series of do-overs and recalibrations it took to make the record such a sleeper hit. A first pressing of the CD featured uninspired artwork of the Arizona desert, a nod to the band’s roots in Tempe, Arizona, a college town far off the music industry’s radar. The revised cover, while similarly junky, was at least more personal, reflecting the band’s faces in the windshield of the van in which they’d logged years on the road while they waited to see if their long-shot record deal with A&M would pan out. By 1992, that deal was looking like a bust. A first attempt to record a full-length had failed, yielding instead only an EP of usable material, Up and Crumbling , which was released in 1991 to little notice. The sessions for New Miserable Experience had also been a debacle, largely because of Hopkins’ worsening alcoholism, and the meager sales and lackluster reviews that greeted the album upon release suggested A&M had funded another flop. But the label, likely sensing the opening created by the zeitgeist-shifting success of Nirvana a year earlier, remained committed to breaking their single “Hey Jealousy,” an incongruously upbeat romp about a fuckup drunkenly trying to reconcile with an ex under the guise of needing a place to crash. A&M commissioned three videos for the song, each with a vastly higher budget, before one finally passed muster with the gatekeepers at MTV. Perhaps it was fitting that it took a few tries to make the “Hey Jealousy” video stick, since the song itself was a redo. The band had recorded it years prior on their 1989 independent release Dusted , in a far more shambolic form that belied their early debt to the Replacements , with a blitzing cadence and a basement punk band’s sense of rhythm. That they buried the song as track 9 on the back of the record suggests they hadn’t fully realized what a gem they’d written. New Miserable Experience producer John Hampton certainly did. Spruced up with a slower tempo that accentuated the euphoria of its riff and the sting of its lyrics, the song’s major-label makeover crunches, sparkles, and soars. It’s such an undeniable hit that you have to wonder why it took so much arm-twisting to make programmers play it. New Miserable Experience beefed up the band’s guitars just enough that Gin Blossoms could pass as part of the early-’90s modern rock boom, although at its heart their sound was a throwback to the crystalline jangle of ’80s college rock, with a heartland tinge that felt old-fashioned in the wake of grunge. Their true differentiator was the blue-eyed lilt and unabashed softness of frontman Robin Wilson, an uncommonly tame singer during an era of furious, loud ones. Compared to the cage match roars of Kurt Cobain , Layne Staley , and Chris Cornell , Wilson sang as if he was serenading a baby bird he was nursing back to health with an eye dropper. Yet that tenderness, that wimpy sincerity, was key to the friction at the foundation of their sound: Their guitars were pretty and their vocals were sweet, but they sang about the kind of hard living mostly found in Charles Bukowski novels and old country songs. Ahead of acts like Third Eye Blind and Matchbox 20, Gin Blossoms had recognized a market for deceptively sordid minivan music. That lived-in, flaws-and-all realism elevated them over most of the flood of tame, light alternative and post-grunge bands that followed in their wake—bands like Tonic and Sister Hazel, which never had the same understanding of how a pleasant song can still capture shittiness and moral ambiguity.

The hard-fought breakthrough of “Hey Jealousy” is the kind of story that A&R loves to tell, one that reinforces the idea that with a little patience and persistence—and, yes, an expertly deployed promotional budget—a deserving song can find its audience. But there was far uglier behind-the-scenes work involved in launching Gin Blossoms, too. Midway through the sessions for New Miserable Experience , the label concluded that for the band to have any chance at functioning, Hopkins had to go. The group had been recording at Memphis’ famed Ardent Studios, where their idols Big Star had recorded their holy trinity of albums, and Hopkins was cracking under the pressure, drunkenly flubbing solos in futile pursuit of a perfect take. His tremens had become so violent he could no longer play sober. Hopkins’ condition had made touring untenable, as well. “Doug was like having this big anvil you had to drag around with you,” Wilson later recalled. “It’s like, ‘Oh, we gotta go to the gig? Well, I gotta go pick up my big anvil.’ And then when the gig’s over, it’s like, ‘Oh shit, I can’t leave yet. I gotta go get my anvil.’” The specifics of Hopkins’ dismissal and its aftermath vary depending on the account, but they’re all ugly. The feud between the guitarist and his former bandmates played out in public; once Hopkins was kicked out of a Tempe club for punching Wilson in the face. In the detail most likely to cast the band as villains, they pressured Hopkins to sign away a chunk of his publishing royalties to the guy they replaced him with. Hopkins needed the $15,000 or so they owed him, so he did. “I understand why they fired me,” he lamented in a 1992 interview, “but did they have to get so fucking cold and ruthless about it?” The cruel ubiquity of “Hey Jealousy” tormented Hopkins, who was consumed by depression and resentment as the single flooded the airwaves. When he received a plaque in the mail after the song went gold, at first he hung it proudly—what musician doesn’t dream of a gold record?—but two weeks later he smashed it. The song itself, Hopkins insisted, he’d never cared about that much; he barely remembered writing it. That wasn’t the case, however, with the album’s follow-up single. Another showcase for Hopkins’ vividly dejected storytelling, “Found Out About You” didn’t disguise its melancholy behind sugar rush guitars. A chronicle of being utterly wrecked by a philandering girlfriend, its anguish was front and center, alongside a foreboding churn to match the paranoia of its whispered rumors and nagging thoughts. In an echo of “Hey Jealousy,” “Found Out About You” also includes an uninvited visit to an ex’s place, but this time the scene plays out not as romantic comedy but horror: “You know it’s all I think about/I write your name, drive past your house/Your boyfriend’s over, I watch the lights go out.” Hopkins was proud of the song and had dreamed it could be a hit, but not under these circumstances. Any further success for his old bandmates was just more salt in the wound. In December 1993, just as “Found Out About You” was taking hold on the radio, Hopkins bought a gun and killed himself. His family had understood he was nearing the end—both his mother and sister had used their last visits with him to say goodbye—but his former bandmates would never have the chance to make peace with him. He died despising them. At his memorial service, a woman approached Wilson with a final message from Hopkins: He wanted the band to know it was him who’d poured sugar into their gas tank. The band didn’t talk about it much at the time, but the guilt and the grief must have been unbearable. Their success would always be shadowed by Faustian reminders of their loss. It couldn’t have helped, either, that so many of Hopkins’ songs were about the very addiction that killed him. He foreshadowed the end within the first lines of New Miserable Experience ’s opener, “Lost Horizons”: “I’ll drink enough of anything to make this world look new again/Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and graves.” Those are heavy words to sing night after night. Hopkins hadn’t been Gin Blossoms’ only songwriter, and they proved that they could write hits without him—maybe not smashes, but solid hits. Wilson and guitarist Jesse Valenzuela drafted “Until I Fall Away,” a wistful ballad soothed by blissful guitars, while Wilson penned the radiant “Allison Road,” whose sunny jangle was the album’s most explicit callback to early R.E.M. Both deftly balanced bubblegum and pathos, the work of songwriters with a deep understanding of how to make a pop song stick without cloying. But on their 1996 follow-up album Congratulations I’m Sorry , its title a nod to the circumstances of their success, it was clear they were working around the absence of their ace. Where the great songs were supposed to be, there were merely good ones. Gin Blossoms broke up shortly after, in part to belatedly process the shock of everything they’d been through. Then they got back to it. Since regrouping around the turn of the century, they’ve carried on as a workhorse touring act, sharing ’90s nostalgia packages with bands like Everclear and Sugar Ray and headlining county fairs and gatherings like Canton, Ohio’s Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival Ribs Burnoff or the Mid-South Great Steak Cookoff at Southland Park Gaming and Racing—wherever masses are charring meat outdoors, there’s a chance Gin Blossoms could be there. It’s not a bad living, really. There are acts with bigger audiences, greater stature, and more recent hits, but in truth the average working band would envy playing for dependable, appreciative crowds as consistently as Gin Blossoms still do. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the band’s gutting backstory—aside from the sheer, gobstopping sadness of it all—is how divorced it is from the popular notion of the group. These days the band will talk about Hopkins with any journalist who asks, but no matter how many times or how vividly it’s told, his story never sticks: Every article about his death always presents it as new information, a lurid piece of trivia you never knew about an act you never thought much about. It’s as if the bitter details cut too harshly against their docile image to become lore. If listeners rarely consider them as a tragic band, it’s because it’s much more gratifying to think of them how they’re most widely known—as just the Gin Blossoms, a group unburdened by expectations of coolness or relevance, whose meek demeanor disguises some undeniable riffs, and whose signature earworms, despite decades of exposure, somehow never seem to burn out. Some bands are defined by their tragedies. Others simply carry on in spite of them. \
