Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms to Headline HSEF Benefit Concert at Fishers Event Center

Two of the biggest names from the 1990s music scene will perform in Fishers next year as part of a fundraiser for local schools.

The Hamilton Southeastern Education Foundation (HSEF) announced that Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms will co-headline a benefit concert Friday, Feb. 20, 2026, at the Fishers Event Center.

Proceeds from the event will support HSEF programs, including teacher grants, student scholarships, mental health resources, and wellness initiatives across all grade levels in Hamilton Southeastern Schools.

Blues Traveler, formed more than 35 years ago in Princeton, N.J., has released 14 studio albums and sold more than 10 million units. The band is best known for its Grammy-winning single Run-Around, which became the longest-charting radio hit in Billboard history. The group has performed more than 2,000 shows for 30 million fans and continues to tour nationally. Their 2021 album Traveler’s Blues was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Traditional Blues Album category.

Gin Blossoms, founded in 1987 in Tempe, Ariz., rose to prominence with their 1992 album New Miserable Experience, which went quadruple platinum and produced hits such as Hey Jealousy, Allison Road, and Until I Fall Away. Their 1996 release Congratulations I’m Sorry went platinum and included the Top 10 single Follow You Down along with the Grammy-nominated track As Long as It Matters.

In addition to the concert, the evening will include HSEF’s annual silent auction. The auction will feature hundreds of items and experiences, including baskets created by each of the district’s 22 schools and PTOs. Bidding will be available online and will close the night of the event.

Limited table seating with early access, food, and beverages will be available through HSEF’s annual sponsorship program.  Tickets go on sale September 26 at 10:00am.
