Blues Guitarist Robert Cray heading to Birmingham
American blues guitarist Robert Cray has won five Grammies.
He’s been a permanent fixture on the blues charts since the mid-1980s.
The star is ever popular having created a sound that rises from American roots but remains fresh and familiar.
In just over 40 years, Robert and his band have recorded 20 studio releases, 15 of which have been on the Billboard charts, and played bars, concert halls, festivals and arenas around the world.
He’ll return to Birmingham on Sunday to headline the city’s Town Hall, with support from Jeb Loy Nichols.
He says: “Well we’re going to be playing some tracks from the new album but also some older things. We’re excited because we have a new member in the band – a new drummer Terence Clark. It will make a nice change for us, so we’re really excited about that.”
Robert’s been on the road for many years but retains his enthusiasm for it.
“Doing this project helps keeps thing fresh.”
