Over the course of its illustrious career, Blues Traveler has sold more than 10 million combined units worldwide, played over 2,000 live shows in front of more than 30 million people, and, in "Run-Around," had the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history, which earned them a Grammy® for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Their movie credits include Blues Brothers 2000, Kingpin, Wildflowers and others.

Judah & the Lion have released another new track from the forthcoming Pep Talks, “Why Did You Run?” – out today and available via your preferred listening service. 

"The first verse is about me getting a call from my mom when she was in jail but I didn't know

what to do or say. And, of course, right after I called my dad but he didn't answer and it felt like a

very lonely moment. It was like, 'Oh, I'm in the world alone.' I imagined how hard it'd be to be a

13-year-old kid dealing with a divorce, because here I am, a 25-year-old, and it just rocked me."

- Judah Akers on “Why Did You Run?”

The album, which includes the previously released single “Over my head,” “Quarter-Life Crisis,” “Pep Talks,” and last week’s critically-acclaimed “pictures (feat. Kacey Musgraves),” also includes assists from former touring mate Jon Bellion and Darren King (ex-Mutemath).  Fans can pre-order the album starting today via https://JATL.lnk.to/peptalks.

About Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals:

Beginning with his 1994 debut, Welcome To The Cruel World, Harper released a string of eight studio albums over a decade and a half. This extraordinary run, featuring contributions from the Innocent Criminals, established him as a singularly powerful songwriter and performer with range across multiple genres and an unmatched ability to blend the personal and political. The accolades poured in—Rolling Stone hailed his "jewels of unique and exquisitely tender rock & roll,” while Entertainment Weekly praised his "casual profundity," and Billboard said his music "reminds us of the power and beauty of simplicity." Massive, international sold-out tours, Top 10 debuts in the US, Gold and Platinum certifications overseas, and a slew of TV appearances cemented Harper and the band's status as genuine global stars.

About Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue:

 Part Jimi Hendrix, part James Brown and all New Orleans, Troy “Trombone Shorty”Andrews is the bandleader and frontman of Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. He has gained international acclaim for his trombone and trumpet virtuosity, his songwriting and his ability to blend traditional New Orleans styles with rock, funk, soul and hip-hop. NPR hailed him as “New Orleans’ brightest new star in a generation” and his recent 2017 album, Parking Lot Symphony, was released on the legendary Blue Note label.

A 2011 GRAMMY Award nominee for his album Backatown (Verve), Andrews’ virtuosity and high-energy live shows have drawn unanimous raves worldwide with Rolling Stone calling him a “must-see act.”
