MONTCLAIR, NJ — Montclair will get a dose of the blues – Blues Traveler, that is – as part of the rock band's recently expanded 35th anniversary tour.

The tour will include a show at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. Tickets are running from $29 to $69. Learn more here.

According to the Wellmont Theater:

"Blues Traveler is not just a band; it's a lifestyle," guitarist Chan Kinchla said.

"Blues Traveler is our life's work," Kinchla continued. "It's enabled us to do so many other things. This little tribe we built in New York during the late eighties has survived all the way through—plus or minus some dearly departed brothers and sisters. It's empowered us to be creative, make people happy, and travel around spreading some good vibes."

"The longer we do it, the more we like it," Kinchla said.

Throughout the tour, the seminal band has been performing a revival of songs that has spanned more than three decades and 14 hit albums – including the iconic four, which went six-times Platinum and spawned the definitive "Run-Around" (garnering their first Grammy Award).

According to a news release, fans can also expect to hear the band's Billboard-topping singles like "Hook" and "But Anyway," as well as new renditions of some of their favorite classic blues songs, originally recorded by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Freddie King, Big Mama Thornton, and Little Willie John.

Tickets for the "Blues Traveler 35th Anniversary Tour" go on sale Friday, July 22 and can be purchased here.
