With a career spanning an impressive thirty years, the Spin Doctors are still making music like their lives depend on it, and have no current plans to slow down. Even now, plans are afoot for a seventh studio album and another swashbuckling world tour, adding to their tally of almost two thousand shows.
Like all the best rock ‘n’ roll mythology, the final page of the Spin Doctors’ biography remains forever unwritten. But if the band’s story is to begin anywhere, it should be at New York’s New School university in the fall of ’88, and the formation of the band Trucking Company. Featuring guitarist Eric Schenkman, harmonicist John Popper, and vocalist Chris Barron, the group played together until Popper’s departure. The band re-grouped, added drummer Aaron Comess and bass player Mark White, and rebranded themselves the Spin Doctors in 1989. The release of their debut studio alum Pocket Full of Kryptonite in August of 1991 exploded in popularity following an aggressive touring schedule. The album went Gold in September 1992 and then Triple Platinum in 1993, eventually reaching No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
The Spin Doctors have gone on to release five more albums including Turn it Upside Down (1994), You’ve Got to Believe in Something (1996), Here Comes the Bride (1999), Nice Talking to Me (2005), and If the River Was Whiskey (2013).
The band celebrated the 20th anniversary of the album Pocket Full of Kryptonite in 2011 with a UK and US tour and are currently working on their seventh studio album.
