The Crowes are hitting the road :)

May 19th, 2007 Suzzann

Happy day, happy day!! Although the Black Crowes new studio release has been pushed back from this year to early 2008, they have fired up the tour bus, pun definately intended. Although Chris and Rich did a couple of Brothers of a Feather dates in Atlanta in early April, which I sadly had to miss, but for a VERY GOOD REASON (trip to Texas to see Bess and the godbabies), the band currently has 24 dates listed on their website, starting with a June 15th date in Jackson, MS at Jubilee Jam. For a mere 20 bucks, you can pick up single day advance tickets, or for $35 you can get a two day advance pass. Friday’s lineup also inlcludes Galactic, Black Stone Cherry, Owen Beverly, and Alvin Youngblood Hart among others. Ludacris is the Saturday headliner, and the Saturday lineup includes Breaking Benjamin, Puddle of Mudd, Hawthorne Heights, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Corey Smith, along with many more. Sounds like a ton of fun for a little cash. Since the Crowes are playing on Friday night–I am planning on heading down to Mississippi for the show, and sticking around to check out some of the other bands whose CDs I have, but haven’t seen live. For more info, you can check out the website at www.jubileejam.com.
It’s looking like the next Crowes show I will (hopefully) be able to catch will be July 6th in Chicago at Taste of Chicago festival (FREE!!!) Looks like we’ll be staying for the weekend, as one of my other favorites–Los Lonely Boys–is closing out the festival on the 8th. John Mayer is headlining on July 4th, and Sara Evans and Craig Morgan–two great country artists–are playing on Sunday, July 1st. Also not to be missed, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, who kick things off on Friday, June 29th with their old-school, too cool brand of funk, soul, and r&b melted together and swirled around.
Since I’ll be out on the west coast for a while, it looks like the next chance I’ll have to get tall with the guys will be in August–but close to home, and close to the heart in Knoxville, TN!!! And we all know that August is FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE!! They’re playing an August 22nd gig in K-town at the Tennessee Theatre. Then, I’ll be off to Atlanta for the weekend to see them play on their home turf, at Atlanta’s own Chastain Park. And with any luck, we’ll get a fall show right here at home at the Ryman!!
Stay tall, y’all!
