While there’s little love between brothers Rich and Chris Robinson, there’s no shortage of adulation for their former band The Black Crowes. The Magpie Salute is the new ten-piece band featuring The Black Crowes’ Rich Robinson in addition to former bandmates Marc Ford, Sven Pipien, and Charity White. In addition to these Black Crowes’ alumna, Joe Magistro, Nico Bereciartua, Michael Bellar, John Hogg, Adrien Reju and Katrine Ottosen round out the roster for the band. Over the past few months, the hype around the project has been building since The Magpie Salute released their debut self-titled album. Currently on tour in support of such, the band has gained full momentum with their most recent stop was in Atlanta, Georgia at the Buckhead Theatre.
The Friday night show featured a cover-heavy setlist, with performances of The Black Crowes, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley & The Wailers, and Hookah Brown, as well as originals by Rich Robinson and Marc Ford. The energy stayed strong through their 20-song set, with incendiary musicianship blasting through the instruments of the artists on stage.
Photographer Emily Butler was there to capture the magic, as you can see in the full gallery below.
