Chris Robinson Brotherhood

by Allison Goodan

Friday night at Mercury Ballroom I saw one of the best shows to date.

The smell of Nag champa filled the venue as it burned onstage along with the occasional whiff of Mary Jane.

The Chris Robinson Brotherhood absolutely jammed out. Tons of Grateful Dead covers.

You’ve got Chris Robinson, the lead singer of the Black Crows while they’re on a hiatus. Guitarist Neal Casal who played with Ryan Adams in the Cardinals.  Mark Dutton on bass who played in a psychedelic glam rock band. Super talented drummer of Tennessee, George Sluppick. Adam MacDougall the replacement keyboardist of the Black Crows.

I mean, I’m not sure what more you could really want in a band. Or a show. Amazing.
