Gin Blossoms play a fusion of pop, melodic rock, folk and country. The band’s major record label debut, “New Miserable Experience,” was a quadruple-platinum album in 1992, fueled largely by the success of the hit, “Hey Jealousy.” Subsequent hits such as “Found Out About You,” “Til I Hear It from You” and “Follow You Down” also landed near the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band broke up in 1997 but reunited in 2002.
The pop rock duo The Rembrandts are best known for their hit “I’ll Be There for You,” which served as the theme song for the TV sitcom “Friends.” The Rembrandts split in 1997, reunited in 2000 and continue to write new songs, tour and produce for a number of other artists, including Gin Blossoms.
The Texas Craft Beer & Music Festival is sponsored by Zero One Ale House. The music and sound are sponsored by Backbeat Music.
