Gin Blossoms, hailing from Tempe, Arizona, emerged in the late 80s as a local sensation before captivating the nation with their distinct sound. Their breakout album, New Miserable Experience, became an undeniable force on the charts for nearly three years, delivering smash hits like “Hey Jealousy,” “Allison Road,” “Until I Fall Away,” “Mrs. Rita,” and “Found Out About You.” These incredibly catchy tunes crossed over onto multiple radio formats, propelling the album to over 5 million sales. They continued their reign with “Til I Hear It From You,” a #1 hit from the Empire Records soundtrack, and earned a Grammy nomination for “As Long As It Matters” from their multi-platinum Congratulations I’m Sorry album. After a brief hiatus, the band reconvened in 2001, proving that their unique magic was simply too potent to ignore. They’ve since become one of the busiest touring acts, maintaining their reputation for delivering phenomenal live performances, proving that their timeless songs continue to resonate with audiences new and old. Their fusion of pop, melodic rock, folk, and country elements truly made them a staple of 90s music.

Joining them are the Spin Doctors, a band known for their infectious, funky grooves and irresistible alt-rock anthems. After a twelve-year hiatus from recording, the Spin Doctors are back and revitalized, celebrating their return with the recent release of Face Full of Cake. This album showcases a band in top form, brimming with the hooks and warm, funky sound that loyal fans have cherished for decades. The creative genesis for this new music began during the pandemic, leading to heartfelt reunions and a renewed surge of creative energy. With the addition of new bassist Jack Daley in 2021, the band found a “renewed energy” and a “really fat groove,” while still sounding authentically like the Spin Doctors everyone loves. Tracks like the soaring “Heart of the Highway” and the observational “Rock ‘n’ Roll Heaven” highlight their enduring songwriting prowess and reflect on their journey as musicians.

This double-bill promises a night packed with hits that defined a generation. Get ready to sing along to all your favorites and experience the enduring power of these two incredible bands. General admission seating means you’ll be up close and personal with the music, ready to dance the night away.
