Black Crowes' Robinson brothers mount acoustic tour
Brothers Chris and Rich Robinson --who anchor the recently reunited rock group The Black Crowes --will set out on their own this spring for a short run of acoustic shows.
The pair has lined up multi-night stands in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The tour will also touch down in Austin, TX, where the brothers will play two days in a row, giving two separate performances on each day. Details are included below.
Billed as "Brothers of a Feather: An Acoustic Evening with Chris & Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes ," the shows will feature a mix of selections from the Crowes' catalog and the Robinson brothers' respective solo catalogs, as well as cover songs and new material, according to a press release.
Last March, Chris Robinson (vocals) and Rich Robinson (guitar) resurrected The Black Crowes for a multi-night stand at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. Originally set for five nights, the sold-out engagement turned into a seven-night run.
The success of the Big Apple outing led to a full-blown headlining tour in the spring and an opening slot on Tom Petty's summer outing, followed by more headlining shows in the fall. The group capped its year with a New Year's Eve performance at Madison Square Garden.
