John Popper from Blues Traveler at Port of Call!


Mike Rytting was filling in for his good friend Dave Wilbur at Port of Call on Thursday, June 22nd. The band is called, "This is Your Band" and plays every Thursday at Port of Call. It's a venue where everyone from the audience comes up on stage and sings with the live back up band.

Tonight, someone noticed John Popper, the harmonica player/vocalist for Blues Traveler was sitting at the bar. The management invited him up on stage and he agreed! We played a couple of generic tunes, including "Stormy Monday". But the highlight of the night came when he tore it up on "Run Around", Blues Traveler's biggest hit. What an amazing musician! Even though he was a little...happy, he just sang perfectly and TORE IT UP on harmonica! Here's a picutre of him on stage taken with my cell phone. Bad photo, but a great memory!
