Mini Biography

One of the greatest harmonica players in rock, John Popper formed his band, Blues Traveler, along with high school friends Bob Sheehan (bass), Chan Kinchla (guitar) and Brendan Hill (drums) in the late 80s, in New York City. They released their eponymous debut album in 1990 nd hit the charts with 1994's "Four". Meanwhile, Popper started to appear as cameo in several films: Farrelly Brothers' _Kingpin_ (which includes a Blues Traveler performance at the end), Howard Stern's _Private Parts_ and _Blues Brothers 2000_. The year 2000 was a tragic one for the band. Popper has to canceled some tour dates due to some hard pain in his chest. Then, later that year, bassist Bob Sheehan died by overdose. That same year marked Popper first actual role in movies. He acted in the indie film _Just For the Time Being (2000)_, with supermodel Eva Herzigova. He also released his first solo album in 2000, "Zygote". After all that, he went through a gastric surgery to reduce his weight and Blues Traveler rejoined forces with two new members, and released the album "Bridge", a new beggining for the band.
