"We have a lot of history with
Toad The Wet Sprocket and Vertical Horizon, and it's always fun to perform with them," says
Robin Wilson of Gin Blossoms. "I know our fans and theirs will enjoy the shows. I'm looking forward to an awesome summer of fine rock."
Jesse Valenzuela of Gin Blossoms continues, "The summer tour with our fabulous pals
Toad The Wet Sprocket and
Vertical Horizon will simply be the greatest night of your life!"
Toad The Wet Sprocket shares, "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."
Matt Scannell of
Vertical Horizon adds, "We've had so much fun touring with our dear friends Gin Blossoms in the past, and we're thrilled to be invited back out on the road with them again this summer. It will also be wonderful to finally play shows with
Toad The Wet Sprocket after so many years of loving their music.
