Rich Robinson is probably best known as a founding member (along with his brother Chris) of The Black Crowes, but has also played a big part in a number of other projects (also with his brother Chris) including New Earth Mud and the Chris Robinson Brotherhood. There is no doubt that he is well acquainted with the stage and the spotlight. Charlie Starr is best known as the guitarist and vocalist for Blackberry Smoke, and, though he has probably had less radio play than the aforementioned Robinson, he's still a force to be reckoned with after a decade [...]

Het is een behoorlijke coup wanneer je als relatief onbekende band Rick Rubin kunt strikken voor je nieuwe album. Howlin Rain, de band van ex-Comets On Fire-frontman Ethan Miller, zal er niet altijd even blij mee geweest zijn, want er...
Last Friday evening, singer/songwriter Amy LaVere played the World Café Live in Philadelphia with her band, opening for headliner Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes. For those who are unfamiliar with LaVere, she is easily recognizable, not only from her rough and powerful Americana sound, but also from the large upright bass she wields in front of the microphone. Though it’s a little uncommon for the frontman (or woman) of a band to play such a visually obstructive instrument, LaVere’s skills on the bass made it both a visual pleasure as well as an energetically charged performance.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MCT) -- ST. LOUIS - Black Crowes rocker Rich Robinson doesn't sit idly by when the band goes on hiatus. He keeps it moving with solo projects such as his latest, "Through a Crooked Sun," his second solo album. But in forging ahead with material that's all his own, new challenges surface, challenges revolving around "figuring out who I am as a person and an artist on my own, away from my other band," Robinson says. "It...

The album, who's title refers to a love of all living things, is a multimedia project that integrates nature, music, and technology, and offers a companion iPad app, that features "games, music, and editorial content-allowing listeners to explore more deeply the concepts and sounds of each of Biophilia 's 13 songs."

Rich Robinson of Black Crowes fame released his second album, Through A Crooked Sun , last month. Credit Public Radio East's The Sound , a five-hour radio program specializing in Americana, Roots Rock, Folk, and Blues for the exposure to it. Robinson is not a dynamic singer (like brother Chris), but he understands nuance and has good range. He makes the most of what he has. When the track, Lost and Found , opens you're thinking, Crowes lite, but Robinson takes over and lets his vocals define the song as opposed [...]
Rich Robinson - Look Through My Window (via azulskies )
Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson delivers the most interesting kind of solo album: one he couldn't have done with his regular band. That it's musically and emotionally satisfying is even better. Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson is no stranger to the solo album game; he issued his solo debut, Paper, in 2007. Unfortunately, it received rather mixed reviews even amongst Crowes fans, who were less than taken with Robinson's vocals and songwriting. His guitar skills have never been in dispute, but the general consensus is that Robinson needed both a real singer and a forceful editor and collaborator-something -- [...]
Frank Yang They don't call it Rocktober for nothing. Only March, with its legions of bands crossing the continent en route to SXSW offers nearly as many live music options as October and with such a plethora of shows to choose from, conflicts are inevitable. October 11, in particular, offers a tough choice for Toronto concert-goers: on one hand, you've got Sleater-Kinney/Helium/Minders supergroup Wild Flag making their Toronto debut at Lee's Palace on the back of their excellent self-titled debut , and on the other you've got hometown hardcore heroes Fucked [...]
It's already been quite the year for the members of Deer Tick , as the band was part of a free-wheeling tour with lead singer John McCauley's side-project Middle Brother . Throw in an acoustic duo tour, a handful of shows as Deervana, as well as a number of festival appearances and headlining gigs, and most bands might consider taking the rest of the year off. Well, that would be most bands, but if you're John McCauley & Co. the remainder of 2011 will keep them just as busy. [...]

We've reached the home stretch of the Allman Brothers Band's March Madness run at the Beacon. Just as they did last night, The Juke Horns came out and added brass to parts of both sets. Particle keyboardist Steve Molitz has been making the rounds lately as he followed up his guest spot at one of Furthur's Best Buy Theater shows earlier this month by coming out for the last two songs of tonight's first set - The Weight and One Way Out. Joining Molitz on the set closers was Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson. [...]
