Why You Should Go: The music Chris Robinson has been involved with over the last 30 years has made an indelible mark on the patchwork of American musical history. He has a swagger at the mic that comes from playing in front of millions of people worldwide, he’s sold tens of millions of records with The Black Crowes, and, in the end, he is the antithesis of the rock star you might expect. He is personable, down to earth, and humble. In short, he’s shed most of the pomp and circumstance of being a Black Crowe and acts more like a local musician than someone who’s sold millions of records. Robinson’s current project, The Chris Robinson Brotherhood, is a philosophical band of brothers that got its start while the Crowes were on “indefinite hiatus” in 2011. To date CRB has released three studio records, the most recent of which, Phosphorescent Harvest, focuses more on the roll rather than the rock, through a Grateful Dead influenced psychedelic space that is as heady as anything that came out of Marin County in the 1970s.
Playing together for more than three years now has solidified this group into the “if we weren’t so tight, we couldn’t sound this effortlessly loose” band that they are today. Featuring Robinson backed by guitarist Neal Casal (Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Hard Working Americans) keyboardist Adam MacDougall (The Black Crowes) bassist Mark Dutton, and drummer George Sluppick (JJ Grey & Mofro), the Brotherhood works hard to put forth an air of nonchalance.
