Blues Traveler

Signing with Sanctuary Records, they released "Truth Be Told" on August 5th, 2003. In 2004, he did a very popular "last night of summer" concert at BT Tower (named for British Telecom, not Transeau). Sheehan's untimely death in 1999 and Popper's struggle with obesity have helped keep the group on the fringes of the mainstream, and A&M dropped the band after disappointing sales of their 2001 album "Bridge". Also of note, unlike many artists working in electronica, Transeau frequently performs his music live on-stage. Their albums with A&M in the later 1990s include Straight on Till Morning and Bridge. In recent years he has also moved into film scoring including Go (1999), Under Suspicion (2000), Driven (2001), The Fast and the Furious (2001), and Monster (2003). Blues Traveler's future releases were not able to live up to the quintuple platinum sales of Four, though they have maintained a loyal fanbase from the beginning of their career. He also provided vocals on the DJ Tiësto single "Love Comes Again".

Their fourth album, Four, was a late-blooming success thanks to the singles "Run-around" and "Hook". 2003 saw the release of Emotional Technology featuring more vocal tracks than usual, including six with vocals by Transeau. Former member Bobby Sheehan (bass) died in 1999 of a drug overdose in New Orleans. BT's 1999 album Movement in Still Life continued his experimentation outside of the trance genre he helped to define, though an interesting dichotomy emerged between his more adventurous work and the more structured, commercially viable tracks. Blues Traveler is an American jam band, led by John Popper (vocals, harmonica) along with Chan Kinchla (guitar), Brendan Hill (drums), Tad Kinchla (bass) and Ben Wilson (keyboards). While Ima was comprised solely of the "progressive" sound, 1997's ESCM was more experimental (although it still produced several big records for the electronic dance music scene). Live on the Rocks, 2004. However, unlike so many artists of the trance genre, BT has lost neither his momentum nor his edge.

Truth Be Told, 2003. Instantly popular, BT's 1996 album Ima helped shape the future of the burgeoning progressive house scene as it merged with, and later came to define, the trance music style. Travelogue: Blues Traveler Classics, 2002 (compilation). Transeau's music was not very well received in the United States during the early 1990s, and he moved temporarily to Europe where his music was discovered by Sasha, a British DJ who introduced BT's music into the club circuit. Live: What You and I Have Been Through, 2002. Born in Maryland, and classically trained from the age of thirteen, he attended Berklee School of Music in Boston for one year before dropping out and moving to Los Angeles, then back to Washington, DC. Bridge, 2001. Brian Transeau (born October 4, 1971) is a musician who records under the stage name BT.
