Black Crowes Reunite, Reveal Dates for ‘Shake Your Money Maker’ 2020 World Tour
By Jem Aswad
LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – As rumored — and prematurely teased over the weekend — Black Crowes cofounders Chris and Rich Robinson will celebrate the 30-year anniversary of their breakthrough debut album “Shake Your Money Maker” with a world tour beginning June 17 in Austin, Texas. Tickets are on sale now.
To celebrate, the band will play two intimate shows, first at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City tonight (Nov. 11), followed by the Troubadour in Los Angeles on Nov. 14. More info about tickets will be shared on @theblackcrowes Instagram page.
The famously feuding Robinson brothers have not played a show since 2013 when they vowed never to play or speak together again. However, Chris Robinson said in a statement announcing the tour, “I’m thrilled & blessed to be playing with my brother celebrating the music we’ve made & bringing our lives together full circle. Long live Rock n’ Roll & The !”
Rich Robinson added, “First and foremost, I’m really happy to have my brother back in my life. To be able to play music again together and celebrate the first record we made as kids, is a gift. To have these songs stand up after 30 years is something I could’ve never fathomed.”
The brothers are the only two original members in the lineup, which also includes guitarist Isiah Mitchell, bassist Tim LeFebvre, keyboardist Joel Robinow and drummer Ojha. Original drummer Steve Gorman has said he knew a reunion was in the works and he was not invited.
The Black Crowes released eight studio and four live albums, including one with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page as a member. The full dates appear below.
