You can witness the extent of his popularity during his gig on March 10 at Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, which is likely to be packed with fans. He later released his own material in the '70s and '80s, which got tons of airplay on KDKB and built up Riopelle's local popularity eons before he decided to move to Arizona in 2003. During his 50-year-plus career, Riopelle has worked behind the scenes writing and producing songs for Capitol and A&M Records, as well as for the infamous Phil Spector, and seeing his songs covered by folks like Meatloaf, Kenny Loggins, and Herb Alpert. Nope, Riopelle still calls Scottsdale home, at least part of the year, one of many stops he's made along in his journey in the rock and pop world. It doesn't mean that he's ditched the Valley by any means. Just because it’s been several years since Jerry Riopelle performed one of his trademark New Year's Eve gigs at the Celebrity Theatre, don't fret.

Gin Blossoms have survived a shuffling in and out of members over the years, but at least for now, they're stable and touring. In 2002, the band reunited and subsequently released 2006's Major Lodge Victory and 2010's No Chocolate Cake. The rest of the band's members continued on to success before eventually breaking up in 1997. Formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona, Gin Blossoms broke out with "Hey Jealousy," a song that became the center of a tragedy after its writer, Blossoms cofounder Doug Hopkins, was fired and later committed suicide after a battle with drinking. With the salty-sweet voice of vocalist Jesse Valenzuela and hits like "Hey Jealousy," "Follow You Down," and "Til I Hear It From You," Gin Blossoms had a virtual monopoly on the soundtracks to school dances and car make-outs of the '90s.
For the countless adults caught in that awkward place between Gen X and Y who remember when MTV played music, there are a handful of names that impart that deliciously distinct '90s-lost-innocence nostalgia, from Blues Traveler to Bush to Counting Crows, but it might just be Gin Blossoms who take the cake. I'll follow you down, but not that far!" - we have a message for you: We, your loving audience, will keep following you, because you're great. To the band that made the following lines famous - "Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down. Gin Blossoms – Friday, March 10 – Chandler Ostrich Festival Here’s a rundown of which concerts we’re looking forward to seeing in March. There will also be a slew of big-name bands and artists appearing at March’s other high-profile concert event in the Valley, the annual Pot of Gold music festival at Rawhide, which will include performances by Flogging Molly, NOFX, G-Eazy, Death Cab for Cutie, Action Bronson, and many more. (Check out our extensive online music listings for info on all these shows.) They won’t be the only ones headed our way for a show, however, since the Arizona will be visited by all manner of musicians who will be going to and coming from South by Southwest and other spring festivals around the country. There’s probably no greater example of that said fact than the annual Viva PHX extravaganza, which will bring 70-plus bands to downtown Phoenix on Saturday, March 11. No, we aren’t referring to the annual basketball tournament (although that’s getting going sometime soon), but rather to the fact that this month is practically wall-to-wall with big shows and can’t miss concerts.Īnd believe us, the next few weeks are going to be busy when it comes to live music.
