As The Crow Flies – May 6th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 2 min read

When Chris Robinson and his new project, As The Crow Flies, landed in Denver last weekend, the scene was abuzz with speculation about how the music would compare to The Black Crowes. Sure, the brothers are on the outs, but Chris’s voice was one of the main anchors of the Crowes sound and the cast of players around them was often in flux anyway. For this project Chris enlisted the talents of three former Crowes in guitarist Audley Freed, bassist Andy Hess and keyboardist Adam MacDougal alongside the up-and-coming guitar-slinger Marcus King and former Levon Helm Band drummer Tony Leone.

JJ Grey & Mofro, The Magpie Salute, North Mississippi Osborne – September 22nd – Red Rocks

Estimated read time 2 min read

Red Rocks played host to yet another perfectly billed afternoon of guitar-driven Rock and Roll. Don’t get us wrong, there was no shortage of great songwriting and singers too, but at the end of the day it was a guitar lovers dream. The day started out with North Mississippi Osborne who set a very high bar but Black Crowes spin-off Magpie Salute was up to the challenge and the night was rounded out by the southern soaked Soul of JJ Grey & Mofro.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood – May 15th – Cervantes’ Ballroom

Estimated read time 4 min read

Chris Robinson Brotherhood is a band by definition, and a great one at that, but the term “brotherhood” more aptly describes what happens on stage. CRB has nothing to do with Black Crowes, but defines itself independently with a signature sound. Robinson is a Rock and Roll king but he is proudly wearing CRB like a crown while turning the tide decades into his career, and we are all grateful when he holds court. The Crowes may be no longer, but this next chapter for Robinson is going beautifully.

Estimated read time 4 min read

Last Tuesday evening we got up close and personal with 90’s Rock icon – close friends with the likes of Phil Lesh and Bob Weir – the often biblical-looking, ultra-talented frontman of The Black Crowes: Mister Chris Robinson. Weaving the perfect blend of covers, originals, and Black Crowes favorites, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood curated the most ideal night we could have asked for for the Eve of the Eve of the 2015 New Year.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Chris Robinson Brotherhood – Cervantes’ – Tuesday & Wednesday, December 30th & 31st

Estimated read time 2 min read

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. His current project, The Chris Robinson Brotherhood, 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.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood – May 16th & 17th – Cervantes’ Ballroom

Estimated read time 1 min read

Denver’s Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom played host this past weekend to the Chris Robinson Brotherhood. Robinson, whose other band, The Black Crowes, is taking a break after a solid year of touring, played to a packed house both nights with his bandmates Neil Casal, Adam MacDougall, Mark Dutton and Geaorge Sluppick. The bluesy, laid back rock band only repeated a couple of tunes over the two night run and mixed a few well chosen covers into the mix.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood – December 31st – Cervantes’ Ballroom

Estimated read time 5 min read

Chris Robinson took a full house at Cervantes’ on a psychedelic journey through old songs, new songs, and a myriad of influences that could not have happened without his new band, The Brotherhood, standing behind him. CRB is not The Crowes, The Dead, or anyone else…it is a new journey being taken by a group of seasoned musicians, and it is a great trip to take…magically mellow as a mushroom.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood – July 13th – Cervantes’ Ballroom

Estimated read time 5 min read

Friday night at Cervantes’ with Chris Robinson’s new band? Yes please . . . these two things seem like they fit hand in hand. While the show was mellower than expected, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. The band put together two sets of music that showcased their skill and range as artists as they drew on tunes from their recent album, an upcoming one, and of course a few tunes recorded by The Black Crowes. In the end, it was a fun night of music orchestrated by one of the masters of his genre.
