Snap Scene: Robert Cray – Croxton Bandroom. 17th May 2018.

Robert Cray has created a sound that rises from American roots and arrives today both fresh and familiar. In just over 40 years Cray and his band have recorded 20 studio releases, 15 of which have been on the Billboard charts, and played bars, concert halls, festivals and arenas around the world.

Robert Cray has been bridging the lines between blues, soul and R&B, with 3 Grammy wins, 12 Grammy nominations, over 20 acclaimed albums and a well deserved place in the Blues Hall of Fame.
