They can be found on the same radio stations and playlists and in many of the same CD collections.

Saturday they will be on the same stage. Ezra Ray Hart is Better Than Ezra’s Kevin Griffin, Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath and Tonic’s Emerson Hart playing their hits together and, on this tour that includes a Packard Music Hall date, mixing in some seasonal favorites as well.

All three continue to work with their own bands, but when the stars — and their schedules — align, they also play shows together, starting about a decade ago.

“Over the years, you come across a lot of different bands, and then you have different people you just click with, and that was the case with Mark from Sugar Ray and Emerson from Tonic,” Griffin said during a telephone interview last month. “Just a (shared) love of music and just hanging out. At some point, we were all just hanging out and we were like, ‘Why don’t we form a band, just this parade of hits?'”

Between 1997 and 2003, Sugar Ray had 10 songs crack the top 40 on one or more Billboard charts, including “Fly,” “Every Morning,” “Some Day” and “When It’s Over.” McGrath went on to host “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” and has appeared on numerous television series, including “Celebrity Apprentice.”

Better Than Ezra’s platinum-selling major label debut, “Deluxe,” had three top 40 Modern Rock hits, including the No. 1 single “Good.” The follow-up album, “Friction, Baby,” had two more hit singles, “King of New Orleans” and “Desperately Wanting.”

Tonic’s debut album, “Lemon Parade,” sold more than a million copies thanks to the song “If You Could Only See,” which was a hit on the Hot 100, pop, adult contemporary, alternative rock and mainstream rock charts.

“We love our respective bands, but this was so much fun because it was different for us,” Griffin said. “We get to play our friends’ songs and hit songs. For me, when it comes to the Tonic and the Sugar Ray songs, they’re just amazing guitar parts that I loved learning how to play, and it just happened really organically.”

For this tour, the guys decided to avoid summer because everyone is on the road at that time of year. With November and December being considered, someone suggested adding some Christmas tunes to the mix.

Griffin has some experience with Christmas music. He penned “Merry Christmas Eve” in the mid ’90s, which Better Than Ezra released. In 2014 he collaborated with Sam Hollander on a collection of Christmas songs released as Band of Merrymakers. Among the many special guests on the album “Welcome to Our Christmas Party” was McGrath.

“I love Christmas,” Griffin said. “I like the nostalgia, the melancholy, the excitement. I’ve got kids, so I love reliving that sense of wonder and excitement through them. And I love the history of Christmas songs, as far as songwriting goes. It’s so rich. It’s something that every songwriter wants to do. The Christmas songs that we know and love were written by some of the great songwriters. It’s something that, as a songwriter, you find as a challenge, to write something that becomes a Christmas classic.”

Back in October, Griffin, McGrath and Hart still were trading emails to determine what holiday standards and originals might make the setlist, but fans still will get to hear each artists’ hits, and some other hits as well.

Ezra Ray Hart has been known to cover ’90s one-hit wonders like Marcy Playground’s “Sex and Candy” and Harvey Danger’s “Flagpole Sitta,” ’70s favorites by Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac and ’80s tunes such as Violent Femmes’ “Blister in the Sun” and The Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party).”

“We’re still going to have some key covers of ’90s bands, and we’ve got a clever twist on a few that people won’t be expecting,” Griffin said. “That’s going to be a lot of fun. If we’re doing our ’90s hits, let’s just make this a cavalcade — a snow avalanche if you will — of ’90s hits. So prepare to come and take a walk down memory lane with your favorite songs from the ’90s and some classic Christmas tunes as well.”
