Long time drummer John Richardson has moved to working in the studio on a more full time basis while juggling other artist drum positions on the road.

"John is a great drummer and all of us support his passion for recording. We all wish him the very best and thank him for all his hard work and dedication. We welcome Scott Hessel as our new drummer on the road."

--Gin Blossoms

Jesse recently did an interview on Round Trip Dave O' - Your Ticket back to the 90's.

If you asked a music fan to name the best rock groups of the ’90′s, there’s a good chance you’d hear “Gin Blossoms” muttered within the first few words. For several years, it seemed as though the Arizona formed band had a new hit every week, from “Hey Jealousy” to “Found Out About You” to “Follow You Down” to “Allison Road.” Dave O recently SKYPED with Jesse from the Gin Blossoms to discuss the bands formation, the tragic loss of Doug Hopkins, the meaning of many songs and the new album that the band has out, in addition to Jesse’s second solo record. ***NOTE*** A MUST listen for any Gin Blossoms fan.
