Artistfacts:
| Popper wanted to be a comedian. He was a big fan of John Belushi, and took up harmonica after watching him do it in The Blues Brothers. |
| Sheehan died of a drug overdose. |
| They are good friends with Paul Schaeffer and have made more appearances on Late Night With David Letterman than any other band. |
| Until 1995, they got very little airplay. Their first albums sold fairly well because they toured constantly and developed a fan base, especially at colleges. |
| In 1993, Popper was severely injured in a motorcycle accident. |
| Popper once weighed 400 pounds. He had his stomach stapled in 2001 and is now about 220. |
| Blues Traveler started the annual H.O.R.D.E. tour (Horizons Of Rock Developing Everywhere) in 1995. |
| The band's name comes from the movie Ghostbusters - referring to the ghost "Gozer The Traveler" faced by the Ghostbusters at the end of the movie. (thanks, Eric - Atlanta, GA) |
