An Evening with Chris Robinson Brotherhood

While Chris Robinson’s old band the Black Crowes worked a lot of different vibes into their songs rooted in Stones-y and Faces-esque blues-rock, the lanky lead singer’s follow-up band the Chris Robinson Brotherhood is even more voracious in its aural appetites. You’ll definitely catch a whiff of the Grateful Dead at CRB’s more jammy moments, and the songs filling the band’s most recent studio album, Barefoot in the Head, bounce between country-blues, soul, funk and rock. Guitarist Neal Casal is an ace, keyboardist Adam MacDougall adds winning textures throughout, and Robinson remains a consummate frontman — a whirling dervish with a winning rasp and welcoming stage presence. Expect to dance at this one, theater seats be damned!
