NASHVILLE, TN (July 3, 2025) — The Pablove Foundation — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to funding innovative, underfunded pediatric cancer research and improving the lives of children with cancer through arts and science — has partnered with multi-platinum rock legends Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms, and Spin Doctors for their nationwide co-headlining tour, launching tomorrow night (July 4) at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The Pablove Foundation was co-founded by Blues Traveler’s longtime manager Jeff Castelaz, after his son Pablo lost his battle with cancer in 2009, making the partnership especially meaningful.
At each stop on the tour, fans will have the chance to enter the nightly sweepstakes where anyone who donates to The Pablove Foundation will be eligible to win a guitar signed by all three bands. Additionally, one grand prize winner will score a VIP flyaway experience to the sold-out Atlanta, GA show, including two nights of hotel accommodations, a signed guitar, exclusive meet-and-greet access with the bands, and more.
ALL SWEEPSTAKES DETAILS, INCLUDING HOW TO ENTER, CAN BE FOUND HERE.
“Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms, and Spin Doctors have long pushed creative boundaries, and The Pablove Foundation is proud to share that same bold, visionary spirit,” shares Emily Keith, Executive Director of The Pablove Foundation. “Through this brilliant Fandiem sweepstakes, fans not only have a chance to win the ultimate experience, but also to change lives — putting cameras in the hands of kids with cancer and fueling the research that will one day cure them. Thank you to the bands and their communities for proving that music truly has the power to change our world.”
Known for defining ‘90s alt-rock with hits like “Run-Around” and “Hey Jealousy,” Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms will launch their 30+ date U.S. run tomorrow night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

About The Pablove Foundation:
The 501(c)3 pediatric cancer nonprofit foundation story began in 2008, when Pablo Castelaz was diagnosed with bilateral Wilms Tumor, a rare form of childhood cancer. After 13 months of treatment, Pablo passed away just six days after his sixth birthday. His dad then rode his bike from Florida to California to raise awareness, and while he pedaled the family’s community came together and opened a PayPal account. They presented it to Pablo’s parents with a $250,000 balance and the Pablove Foundation was born. Providing kids with an outlet and the opportunity to develop a creative voice during their treatment is crucial. That’s why The Pablove Foundation is dedicated to a unique approach of addressing childhood cancer through art and science to realize their mission to: Improve the lives of children living with cancer through the arts and Invest in underfunded, cutting-edge pediatric cancer research. To date, The Pablove Foundation has provided more than $3.8 million in seed funding for daring pediatric cancer researchers on the leading edge of their fields worldwide.
About Blues Traveler:
35 years ago, the four original members of Blues Traveler — John Popper, Chandler Kinchla, Brendan Hill, and the late Bobby Sheehan — gathered in their drummer’s parents’ basement in Princeton, NJ to jam. From these high school sessions emerged a band that would go on to release a total of 14 studio albums, four of which have gone gold, three platinum, and one six-times platinum- selling more than 10 million combined units worldwide. Over an illustrious career, Blues Traveler has played over 2,000 live shows in front of more than 30 million people, and, in “Run-Around,” had the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history, which earned them a GRAMMY® for “Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.” In 2021 Blues Traveler released the GRAMMY®-nominated Traveler’s Blues (Round Hill Records), a collection of reimagined and recharged classics from the American blues songbook, and the group’s first official blues album. The second release in this series, 2023’s Traveler’s Soul, takes a similar approach- consisting of cover songs from a specific genre, this time classic R&B and Soul.
About Gin Blossoms:
Gin Blossoms is an American alternative rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. The band rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label debut album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold. New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple platinum and three other charting singles were released from the album including “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away.” The band's follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996), went platinum including the GRAMMY®-nominated “As Long as It Matters” and the Top 10 single “Follow You Down.” Gin Blossoms continue to tour every year and in recent years have shared the stage with Collective Soul, Barenaked Ladies and Hootie & The Blowfish.
About Spin Doctors:
Best known for their multi-platinum album Pocket Full of Kryptonite, which sold 10 million albums worldwide and featured hits like the GRAMMY®-nominated “Two Princes” and “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong,” the Spin Doctors are a defining band of the ‘90s alt-rock scene. With their infectious hooks, bluesy grooves, and high-energy live shows, the band continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Led by original members Chris Barron (vocals), Eric Schenkman (guitar), Jack Daley (bass), and Aaron Comess (drums), Spin Doctors remain a force in rock music, blending funk, blues, and pop into their unmistakable sound. The band released their first album in 12 years Face Full of Cake on April 11 via Capitol Records.
