The Drop: Goo Goo Dolls

Multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated band Goo Goo Dolls are one of the most globally respected and influential forces in popular music, selling more than 12 million albums since 1986. They have scored 14 Top 10 radio hits (more than any other artist in the history of the Hot AC format), including “Name,” “Slide,” and “Iris,” the latter spending nearly 12 straight months on the Billboard charts and holding the No. 1 position for 17 consecutive weeks. The band have toured the globe countless times, performed in front of millions of fans, received numerous awards (including four GRAMMY nominations), and recorded and released 10 studio albums. Lead singer/guitarist John Rzeznik has also been honored with the Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award. Their 11th studio album, Boxes, was released on May 6, for which Rzeznik enlisted some of his favorite songwriters and producers to collaborate with, including Gregg Wattenberg, Wattenberg’s production partner Derek Fuhrmann, and Drew Pearson (who’s worked with Phillip Phillips and OneRepublic). Boxes is a vibrant, sonically forward-looking album that manages to retain what their legions of fans love about the Goo Goo Dolls — indelible melodies, intimate, heartfelt lyrics, and the anthemic, uplifting vibe of their songs. The GRAMMY Museum is pleased to welcome Goo Goo Dolls to the Clive Davis Theater for an intimate discussion on their new album and current tour, moderated by Scott Goldman, Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation. The conversation will be followed by a special performance.
