The Robert Cray Band
Thursday, October 18, 2007
7:30 PM
The winner of five Grammy Awards, Cray is often compared to Ray Charles for ably crossing blues, soul and pop barriers. He has defined contemporary blues for over three decades, drawing on R&B, rock, pop, and jazz with equal insight and authority. "A gorgeously soulful voice, biting guitar style, and winning delivery haven't hurt Cray any," says Entertainment Weekly, "but his secret weapon may be the topflight material that sets him apart from others."
