Biography

Benefiting from the early-1990s grunge Zeitgeist without directly participating in it, Blind Melon explored the edges of classic guitar rock, with added touches of homespun folk and white funk. Their biggest hit was the gentle rocker "No Rain," whose sunny melody and uplifting video (featuring the "Bee Girl") belied its downcast lyrics. The song boosted the album to lofty chart heights, and the band enjoyed rock-star status for a brief time, until lead singer Shannon Hoon's drug-related death in 1995. Blind Melon reunited in 2006 with new singer Travis Warren.
