Chris Robinson‘s new project, As The Crow Flies, is officially making its debut tonight at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY. Singing songs from The Black Crowes‘ songbook, the band will feature Crowes guitarist Audley Freed and bassist Andy Hess, Chris Robinson Brotherhood drummer Tony Leone and keyboardist Adam MacDougall, as well as guitarist Marcus King. Tonight’s sold-out show will be webcast live on Relix’s new streaming platform, The Relix Channel.
In a recent interview, Robinson told Rolling Stone: “We’ve discussed a few covers, but pretty much I want to just concentrate on the main Black Crowes albums, the songs that people will know. I’m not flogging away in the Black Crowes anymore, so there’s a celebratory element to it. If I haven’t sang ‘She Talks to Angels’ for five years, I’m going to have fun singing it every night for a few weeks. I have this thing called the CRB that is my wild imagination, my adventure and everything is there. Like I said, we have three weeks off. The other guys in the CRB are busy, so it just was a perfect time.”
