Third Eye Blind is best known for the singles “Semi-Charmed Life,” “How’s It Going to Be,” “Jumper” and “Never Let You Go,” as well as other popular songs such as “Graduate,” “Motorcycle Drive By” and “Wounded.” The band won the Billboard Music Award for “Modern Rock Track of the Year” in 1997, and was nominated for two American Music Awards for Favorite New Artist (Pop/Rock) and Favorite Artist in 1998.

The opening band will be Alpha Rev, an alternative rock band from Austin, Texas, formed by singer-songwriter Casey McPherson. The group will make its major label album debut on Hollywood Records with “New Morning.” Produced by David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Sublime, The Strokes), the album arrives in stores and at online retailers on April 20. The band’s songs have been featured on Bravo’s “NYC Prep,” the ABC Family hit “Greek” and the CW’s “Melrose Place.”
