GIN BLOSSOMS

Saturday, July 23 at 8 p.m.—RUTLAND—Gin Blossoms will be taking to the Paramount Theatre stage on Saturday, July 23 at 8 p.m.

For more than two decades, Gin Blossoms has defined the sound of jangle pop. From the band’s late 80s start as Arizona’s top indie rock outfit, the Tempe-based combo has drawn critical applause and massive popular success for its trademark brand of chiming guitars, introspective lyricism, and irresistible melodies. Gin Blossoms soon unfurled a chain of crossover favorites spanning five different formats, from “Hey Jealousy” and “Until I Fall Away” to “Follow You Down” and the GRAMMY®-nominated “As Long As It Matters,” earning the band sales in excess of $10 million in the U.S. alone.

“It’s a really rare thing,” singer/guitarist Robin Wilson said of Gin Blossoms’ continuing saga. “So many chapters in this long story.”

“We were on a course,” Wilson said, “inspired by our influences. The bands that unified us were our forefathers like Cheap Trick and R.E.M, The Replacements and The Plimsouls. Those were bands that all of us as Gin Blossoms had in common. When people ask me, what kinda band are you in, I say, ‘We’re a classic rock band.’”

Tickets for the show are $46 and $56, and are available at the Paramount Theatre box office located at 30 Center Street, Rutland; charge-by-phone at 802-775-0903; or online at paramountvt.org.
