Lobero Theatre presents
Robert Cray
July 29, 2023 • Lobero Theatre
The Robert Cray Band will be touring the US and UK for the first time since the 2020 release of his album, That’s What I Heard. “Funky, cool and bad,” is how Cray describes the GRAMMY® nominated album, produced by longtime collaborator, Steve Jordan. “Robert Cray is not only making music, he’s making history,” writes Guitar Player Magazine.
Over the past four decades, Cray has created a sound that rises from American roots, blues, soul and R&B, with five GRAMMY wins and 20 acclaimed studio and live albums that punctuate the Blues Hall of Famer’s career. On That’s What I Heard, Robert celebrates the music of Curtis Mayfield, Bobby “Blue” Bland, The Sensational Nightingales, and more, alongside his own songs.
Robert’s band features Richard Cousins (bass), Dover Weinberg (keyboards), Terence F. Clark (drums), and Steve Jordan (drums, percussion).
