Jerry Garcia might be long gone, but his children are always looking for a new dwelling. Enter Chris Robinson, once (and future?) lead singer for the Black Crowes, one of the purest rock and roll bands to emerge in the last 20-odd years. Their take on ‘Sticky Fingers’-era Stones and Gram Parsons’ ghost was always a thing of beauty.
With the Crowes on another indefinite hiatus (“Best not to wake the bear while it’s hibernating,’” Robinson recently told Uncut), Chris is sailing head-on into his own solo trip.
Boston November 8, 2012 Review
Review by Adam Icculus
Last night The Chris Robinson Brotherhood rolled into town for a sold out show at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club. The venue was jam packed and the vibe was on point for a southern rock throw down.

Review by Ike Riddick
Being an avid Black Crowes and Chris Robinson fan, conceptualizing CRB (Chris Robinson Brotherhood) jamming in the intimacy of the Lincoln Theater equated to perhaps one of the most anticipated shows I have awaited in quite some time. Shortly after firing up a bouquet of incense emerging from atop an owl’s head figurine, the band took their rightful places on stage and a magical musical journey commenced.

Chris Robinson grooved and sang his way through song after song during the Chris Robinson Brotherhood's Nov. 2, 2012, concert at the Neighborhood Theatre. While he occasionally grinned at his bandmates during lengthy jams, he reserved his biggest smiles of the night for his biggest fan. Standing just off the stage was his daughter, Cheyenne, who will turn 3 next month. Wearing big pink headphones and a black shirt emblazoned with a glittery "I Love Rock and Roll" across the front, Cheyenne watched, danced and stared as her father got the packed NoDa venue dancing and singing along.

Neal Casal interview...
by David Von Bader
Neal Casal is a man of many hats. A prolific and fully realized recording artist in his own right, Casal has released a steady flow of his own albums since the early '90s, worked with artists like Tift Merritt and Willie Nelson, and has released a book of his photography, Ryan Adams and the Cardinals: A View of Other Windows, documenting the time he spent in his most recognizable role as band mate to the alternative country superhero.

The
New Jersey born Casal recently found himself playing the role of
sideman once again, this time as a member of the Chris Robinson
Brotherhood, a band that displays both Casal and the former Black Crowes
frontman's neo-hippie sonic tendencies in a way that is neither
filtered nor abbreviated.
New Times
caught up with Casal during a stop in New Orleans to discuss his life as
a sideman, his photography, and losing pool to Willie Nelson.
Happy 75 years, Wavy Gravy!
I'll post the songs next time I log on. Meanwhile enjoy CRB's set...appearance by Bobby Weird. word
from the brotherhood...
Inspiration move us brightly!!! The CRB is back in Cali!!! Love sick Charlie and tear drop Molly just jumped out of their seats!! Thank you for a sold out Terrapin Crossroads! See your smiling minds at Hardly Strictly!!!
Into the harvest we go!

We All Want Love

Keep on rolling, keep on riding high
Keep your eyes open and stay out of danger
Keep on singing, clapping in time
Sometimes things aren't worth changing....

Sit down by the window and watch the tornado

Help yourself out to some of my disaster
It's moving faster since the last time I was on speed...

Update
I've gone ahead and updated 2011 setlists and statistics, as well as 2012 setlists. The Brotherhood has 170+ shows since March of 2011. Sprinkle in some shows with Jackie Greene and Bob Weir this year, and a few random Chris sightings with other bands and you'll see an absolute road horse and warrior. He's gotta be pushing 2000 shows over a 20-year career, and playing with some pretty damn good musicians. Impressive (or insane). To top it all off, the music keeps getting better. Kudos, Mr. Robinson.
