Gin Blossoms have announced a co-headlining tour with Santa Barbara’s Toad the Wet Sprocket. Joining the alternative rock bands on tour are special guests Vertical Horizon. See the groups’ tour schedule below.
In a press statement, Gin Blossoms singer Robin Wilson said, “We have a lot of history with Toad the Wet Sprocket and Vertical Horizon, and it’s always fun to perform with them.” He continued, “I know our fans and theirs will enjoy the shows. I’m looking forward to an awesome summer of fine rock.”
Toad the Wet Sprocket added, “In August of 1992, we embarked on our first headlining shows where we got to pick an opening band for the whole tour. There was a tremendous amount of buzz about a band from Arizona called Gin Blossoms. A mutual friend had given us an advance copy of their first EP, Up and Crumbling, back in 1991, and we all loved it. That tour was the beginning of over 30 years of us playing shows together. There was always a spirit of friendly competition between our two bands, and also wonderful support for each other as the audience for this music continued to grow. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of our album Dulcinea, it is fitting that we mark this milestone with some of the best friends we made along the way.”
Toad the Wet Sprocket shared their latest album, Starting Now, in August 2021, and Vertical Horizon issued The Lost Mile in February 2018.
Gin Blossoms most recently released Mixed Reality in June 2018. Read the new Sunday Review of 1992’s New Miserable Experience.
