A dramatic, high-contrast live concert photograph of two members of The Black Crowes performing on a dark stage. On the left, singer Chris Robinson is wearing a wide-brimmed black hat, a heavily patterned metallic suit jacket, and a long dark scarf. They are holding a microphone close to their mouth and singing intensely with their eyes closed. On the right, guitarist Rich Robinson has shoulder-length wavy hair and a beard, wearing a dark velvet-like jacket over a patterned shirt and white guitar strap. They are looking forward while playing a dark-colored electric guitar. A brilliant, starburst-style stage spotlight shines directly behind the guitarist, piercing through the dark background.

Drivin N Cryin’s Kevn Kinney probably won’t be onstage with The Black Crowes in Tampa, but fans of the Robinson brothers won’t care. Reunited after a cruel split, Chris and Rich arrive riding high on the Grammy-nominated 2024 album Happiness Bastards and with a fiery new album, A Pound of Feathers, to share with fans of the revered Southern rock band.

Joining them are Whiskey Myers—the Texas band that recently joined the Crowes for a cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Star Star”—and Southall.

Tickets to see The Black Crowes at Midflorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Sunday, May 31 are still available and start at $25.
