[ROCK] At 51, John Popper is a young rock survivor. The Blues Traveler frontman has experienced his share of woes, from the death of band mate/bassist Bobby Sheehan, to his 1992 motorbike accident (which put him in a wheelchair for a spell) to a near fatal heart attack in 1999 brought on by obesity. Popper has since slimmed down and Blues Traveler has continued to make music as an indie band. Perhaps known best for his harmonica playing (and the vest he used to wear with custom pockets for many of them), he’s an odd duck for someone with a jam-band fan base—an avid weapons collector, he also leans republican. That said, he performed at a Bernie Sanders rally in 2016. His solo shows consist of almost all Blues Traveler material, so worry not about whether he’ll perform the material you’re most familiar with when he comes to the Tralf Music Hall on Sunday, April 29 with singer/songwriter Katrina Woolverton in the opening slot.
