THIRD EYE BLIND
With Top 10 US Billboard Hot 100 hits like “Semi-Charmed Life”, “Jumper” and “How’s It Going to Be,” San Francisco's THIRD EYE BLIND has recorded five best-selling albums and assembled one career retrospective since its beginnings in 1997. Led by Stephan Jenkins, 3EB has earned worldwide success during a tumultuous group of years when the major-label recording industry was finally losing its grip on an enterprise that for decades it had dominated with steely efficiency. Nothing could have made 3EB happier! THIRD EYE BLIND’S 2021 album Our Bande Apart was recorded when lockdown ended, with Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast and Ryan Olson of Poliça. The band has continued to have gained artistic clarification—and, surprisingly, a fanbase that is larger, younger and more dedicated than ever.
Third Eye Blind is longtime supporter of SeaTrees, an organization that helps restore a portion of the Palos Verdes Kelp Forest. The ocean has the power to restore climate change. The latest science shows that globally, kelp forests can sequester more carbon than mangrove forests - restoring these sequoias of the sea is critical to solving climate change as 93% of all carbon in the carbon cycle is stored in our oceans (meaning just 7% is stored across our atmosphere and land biosphere.
