Robert Cray by Nelson Onofre

Posted on 4/16/2010 by Nelson Onofre


What's up Blues fans! This week I am submitting photos of veteran blues man and five-time Grammy Award winner Robert Cray from his March 19, 2010 show at BB King's in New York. This was my first time seeing Robert perform and he did not disappoint. Robert and the band played to a full and enthusiastic house at BB's. Along with Robert the band consisted of Jim Pugh on keys, Tony Braunagel on drums and making his return to the Cray band, Richard Cousins
on bass.

Robert was in fine form both vocally and on the guitar, laying down some killer licks on his Stratocasters. Robert played older songs like 'Smoking Gun' but concentrated on his new album, 'This Time'. All in all it was a great show and I'm glad I finally got to see Robert perform, especially in an intimate club like BB's, which is a great place to catch a live show. It's practically my home away from home! Don't miss this show if it comes to a venue near you. You'll see and hear some professionals at the top of their game.

I would like to thank Laura Becker of Big Machine Media and Liz Perantinides of BB King's for guest list/photo pass access and their support.

Until the next go-round, keep supporting the Blues. As you can see these cats are working hard to lay it down for you.
