Gin Blossoms set to rock at B.B. King Blues Club in New York City

The Gin Blossoms are set to rock on Jan. 31 at B.B. King Blues Club in New York City, according to a Jan. 21 report from Gothamist.com.

Tickets are $25 in advance, and $30 day of show. Virginia-based pop rockers Crash Boom Bang will open the show.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and first band takes the stage at 8 p.m.

Fueled by mega-hits including "Hey Jealousy," "Found Out About You" and "Til I Hear It From You," the Gin Blossoms recently rocked the house at The Paramount in Huntington, New York, to a near sellout crowd.

Gin Blossoms front-man Robin Wilson is a resident of Valley Stream on Long Island, so it was a homecoming of sorts for the band.

The Paramount show had a laid-back, mellow vibe, as if the band was performing in front of a room full of friends and family, rather than just fans.

The band performed several hits from their 1992 multi-platinum selling New Miserable Experience album, including "Hey Jealousy, which peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Four more singles followed from the album, including "Mrs. Rita," "Found Out About You," "Allison Road" and "Until I Fall Away." Gin Blossoms performed all their hits from the album, plus newer jams like "Learning the Hard Way," from 2006's anthemic Major Lodge Victory.

Gin Blossoms bassist Bill Leen felt faint towards the end of the band's set at the Paramount, and he was replaced by the band's tour manager for the encore. "The show must go on!" Wilson declared, before the band rocked the house with "Follow You Down," a timeless fan favorite.

Wilson also announced that the band is set to go on tour with Sugar Ray later in the year.
