CHRIS & RICH ROBINSON OF THE BLACK CROWES

At the time of their 1990 debut, the kind of rock & roll the Black Crowes specialize in was out of style. Only The Black Crowes replicated that Stonesy swagger and Faces boogie perfectly. Vocalist Chris Robinson appropriated the sound and style of vintage Rod Stewart while guitarist Rich Robinson fused Keith Richards' lean attack with Ron Wood's messy rhythmic sense. At their best, the Black Crowes echo classic rock without slavishly imitating their influences.

The Robinson brothers originally formed the Black Crowes in Georgia in 1984. By the time of their 1990 debut, Shake Your Money Maker, the group comprised Chris Robinson (vocals), Rich Robinson (guitar), Johnny Colt (bass), Jeff Cease (guitar), and Steve Gorman (drums). "Jealous Again," the first single from Shake Your Money Maker, was a moderate hit but it was the band's cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" that made the group a multi-platinum success. "Hard to Handle" climbed its way into the Top 40, propelling the album into the Top Ten. The acoustic ballad "She Talks to Angels" became the band's second Top 40 hit in the spring of 1991. Shake Your Money Maker would eventually sell over three million copies.

Chris and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes are heading out on the road as a duo for a special run of multiple-night acoustic shows.

Pete Angelus, manager of The Black Crowes confirmed today that Chris and Rich will be performing a collection of their catalogue, influential covers as well as new material. Billed as "Brothers Of A Feather: An Acoustic Evening With Chris & Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes," all shows will be in a very intimate seating setting.

Although The Black Crowes have perfomed a few acoustic numbers in their electric sets in the past, this will be the first time the infamous brothers have everperformed full-length acoustic sets in their 16-year career.
