One of the top alt-rock groups of the ’90s, GIN BLOSSOMS—Robin Wilson (lead vocals & guitar),Jesse Valenzuela (vocals & guitar), Scott Johnson (guitar) and Bill Leen (bass)–will perform highlights from their body of work plus songs from their 2018 critically acclaimed album MIXED REALITY (produced and mixed by Don Dixon and recorded by Mitch Easter).The multi-platinum band’s signature blend of introspective lyrics, ringing guitars and finely etched melodies is as strong as ever throughout the album, highlighted by such singles/videos as “Break,” “Face The Dark” and“Wonder.”

Both GIN BLOSSOMS and Collective Soul will offer their own VIP packages, which include band meet and greets, exclusive merchandise, and much more. All VIP packages will be available starting Wednesday, March 20 at 10pm local time. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 22 at 10am local time. More information can be found www.ginblossoms.net andwww.collectivesoul.com.

“Collective Soul is one of the most consistent bands of our generation, they Rock, and girls dig ’em,” says Robin Wilson. I’ve been hoping to tour with them for years. It’s gonna be a great summer.”

“Very excited to tour with Collective Soul this summer,” continues Jesse Valenzuela. “They are great musicians and wonderful guys and we’re gonna have a good time on the road!”

On the “New Miserable Experience Live” shows, Gin Blossoms performed their multi-platinum album from front-to-back in celebration of the album’s recent 25^th anniversary, digging deep into such songs as “Hey Jealousy,” “Found About You” and “Allison Road.” The band filmed their February 22 House of Blues in Chicago show for a commemorative “New Miserable Experience Live” DVD/CD 2 disc set (release date TBA).

“The band is playing great, everybody’s getting along,” Robin Wilson told Houston Chronicle in a March 6 story by Andrew Dansby headlined “Gin Blossoms Blooming Again.” At my age, 30 years later, to be able to play this record and have people treat it like a big part of the songbook for our generation, it’s special. It’s nothing I could’ve predicted. It’s been a celebration, and it’s been cathartic.”
