Slash has been part of American music since 1981. It is hard to think of the '80s and '90s rock scene and not visualize the tall, muscular Guns N’ Roses lead guitarist in his trademark top hat. He has formed many bands and played many styles. His current album, Orgy of the Damned, is a collection of tried-and-true Blues powerhouse tunes played with some of the industry's heavy hitters. Each track is a marriage of the original song, the featured artist's own style, and Slash’s interpretation on guitar.

On Saturday, July 13th, the Rolling Stones performed at Sofi Stadium in Inglewood, California. While the octogenarians rocked the stage, Slash brought his S.E.R.P.E.N.T. festival to the Greek Theatre across town in the heart of Hollywood. The show featured many talented young musicians paying homage to the roots of all hard rock: the Blues genre.

Last week, The Black Crowes proved once again that rock and roll is still alive and well as they hit The Fillmore Auditorium in Denver on Monday, April 8 to give rabid fans a dose of rhythm and blues southern style.

Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom is a hallmark Denver venue featuring a unique wrap-around balcony and two rooms that offer live music simultaneously: Cervantes’ Other Side. Each room operates independently of the other, but they are connected, which gives patrons the freedom to venture back and forth between each room.

The Peach Music Festival casually moved into day four, with the Black Crowes and The Word headlining this final day. Clear skies allowed the music to rage with out a hitch. Many folks left early today, and the crowd density was much less.

Today, Ethan Miller's Silver Current Records releases Chris Robinson and Howlin Rain's studio-recorded debut together in the form of a special limited edition 7-inch of two rip-roaring Mott the Hoople covers: "Sucker" and "Death May Be Your Santa Claus."

Grounded by the pandemic, it had been a long time since I took to the air when I departed out of Philly for Labor Day weekend. Destination? Atlanta. Reason? A homecoming/reunion concert featuring Atlanta sons, brothers Chris and Rich Robinson and their band, the Black Crowes. To be honest, I had some reservations about my plans – the Delta variant, the usual fatigue of the work week, and the nagging little existential questions I had started to ask during the long, dark COVID winter - Will live music ever come back? Will I be too old and jaded for rock-n-roll if it does?

In November of 2019, Chris and Rich Robinson announced that in 2020, the two would reunite and bring the rock and roll force of The Black Crowes on a cross-country tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the group’s inaugural powerhouse album Shake Your Money Maker. The tour was to cover the continental United States and bring the southern love back to the fans who had been calling for a long-awaited reunion.
