THE GRAND PRESENTS THE ROBERT CRAY BAND - GROOVIN' FOR 50 YEARS
The legendary blues-soul-rock musician celebrates 50 years on the road.
Blues icon. Soul man. Rock and roller. Robert Cray is all these things – and more. The Georgia-born, Washington-raised musician first picked up a guitar after seeing The Beatles on TV then, having witnessed Jimi Hendrix perform in Seattle, determined that his destiny would follow a similar path. And so it turned out: across the past half-century Robert Cray has developed into one of American music’s most singular artists.
From forming a teenage garage band, through to striding the stage alongside several of the world’s greatest guitarists, Robert Cray’s story is one of struggle and commitment. Struggle and commitment that led to Cray enjoying phenomenal success – selling millions of albums and countless concert tickets – while his skills as a band leader and performer mark him as a keeper of the flame for American roots music.
“Cray’s devotion to his music has ensured that across his 19 studio albums not one is a dud.” - Record Collector magazine (UK)
“Cray is a distinctive, multi-threat talent: fearless formal innovator, brainy bandleader, terse yet fluent guitarist, and the most authoritative singer to emerge from blues since Bland and King” - The Village Voice (New York)
“A true American original, Robert Cray has never conformed to the stereotypes associated with blues. Instead, Cray’s mapped out a music that is often stark yet always soulful.” - The Sunday Times (London)
