Early mornings in a new town never gets old for Tad Kinchla.

As the bassists of Blues Traveler, he鈥檚 spent many mornings away from his family on tour 鈥� and he wouldn鈥檛 give it up.

鈥淲e鈥檙e in Walla Walla, Washington,鈥� he says. 鈥淲e started this tour with Big Head Todd and our first show was at Red Rocks. We鈥檝e done a Fourth of July show at Red Rocks for the last 28 years. It鈥檚 something that we鈥檙e very fortunate to do.鈥�

Blues Traveler is currently on a co-headlining tour with Big Head Todd and the Monsters. The tour makes a stop at Revel ABQ on Wednesday, Aug. 2.

Blues Traveler was formed in 1987 and has consistently released music since its inception. The band found mainstream success in the mid-1990s with its album, 鈥淔our.鈥� It won a Grammy Award for the single, 鈥淩un-Around.鈥�

Currently, the group comprises singer and harmonica player John Popper, guitarist Chan Kinchla, drummer Brendan Hill, bassist Kinchla, and keyboardist Ben Wilson. Kinchla and Wilson joined the band following the death of original bassist Bobby Sheehan in 1999.

The band released its most recent album, 鈥淭raveler鈥檚 Blues鈥� in 2021.

It鈥檚 been a few years since new music was released, and Kinchla says the band will work on it as time is available while they are on tour.

鈥淲e have it more compartmentalized in terms of when we write,鈥� he says. 鈥淲e tour every single year, and more often, reserve the winter to write about every other year.鈥�

The writing process includes all the members of the band.

鈥淲e all come up with songs and throw them in a pool and take turns,鈥� he says. 鈥淭here are five of us. We each do three or four songs and try to get them down. Then we whittle down that list to the best 10 or 12. We try to have lyrics in place. John will come in and tweak them so it makes sense for his voice.鈥�

With more than 30 years worth of music, Kinchla says the set is different each night.

He says the hits are obviously in the mix, as well.

鈥淲e do a good amount of covers,鈥� he says. 鈥淭he latest cover that we鈥檙e doing is 鈥楬ot for Teacher.鈥� We鈥檝e done 鈥楾he Devil Went Down to Georgia鈥� and that was a big hit with audiences. We have a lead singer who plays harmonica and the results are endless.鈥�

Kinchla has been a member of the band for nearly 25 years.

While Kinchla doesn鈥檛 have personal favorite songs, he says 鈥淵ou Reach Me鈥� was the first song he gave to the band when he joined.

鈥淚t鈥檚 percussive and physically fun to play with a lot of slapping,鈥� he says. 鈥淭hen there鈥檚 鈥楽weet Talking Hippie鈥� which is fun for the group because we build it as a group.鈥�

Over the course of his journey, he鈥檚 enjoyed the ride and looks forward to stepping on stage every opportunity he gets.

鈥淲e genuinely enjoy playing,鈥� he says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not as glamorous as people think it is to have this as a career. We get two hours a night to perform and take people out of their everyday struggles. As we鈥檝e grown older, we鈥檝e connected more with each other as a band. We鈥檝e become more patient and now realize that it鈥檚 the space that makes the music. Each audience brings its own energy, which gives us energy each night. It鈥檚 amazing.鈥�
