Delbert McClinton will perform on the Bud Light Stage tonight at Riverbend.If you were alive in 1997 and owned a radio, you can probably sing every word of the song “Semi-Charmed Life.” The hit by Third Eye Blind was seemingly everywhere. It peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, was No. 1 on the Modern Rock Tracks for eight weeks and earned a Billboard Music Award for Modern Rock Track of the Year.

The band was formed by Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan in 1993 (Cadogan left the band in 2000). “Semi-Charmed Life” was on their self-titled debut album. Other singles on the album included “Graduate,” “Losing a Whole Year,” “Jumper” and “How’s It Going To Be.”
They played the latter song later that year when they were musical guests on “Saturday Night Live.”
They take pride in being a hard-working rock ‘n’ roll band that plays real instruments. They’ve been influenced in their musical careers by Led Zeppelin, U2, The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, Camper Van Beethoven, The Clash and The Police.
