This is a past event.
Rock ’n’ roll fans may detect a Traffic vibe in the very title of Rich Robinson's 2011 full-length Through a Crooked Sun, and the record definitely has affinities to the kind of folk-inflected, blues-based psychedelic pop Steve Winwood and company concocted in the early ’70s. The Black Crowes guitarist and singer has always made tuneful music that owes a debt to The Rolling Stones of "Soul Survivor" and such English mystics as Nick Drake and Sandy Denny. Crooked Sun sports an excellent cover of Fleetwood Mac's 1970 "Station Man," and the rest of the record adroitly mixes Keith Richards-style guitar interplay and the brooding English rock-folk mysticism exemplified by such groups as Traffic and Family. Rounding out the bill is Memphis singer and songwriter Amy LaVere, who continues the Bluff City tradition of expressionist pop — on last year's full-length Stranger Me, LaVere makes her experiments sing.
