The Black Crowes Announce Rescheduled Shake Your Money Maker Anniversary Tour Dates
Interest in The Black Crowes reunion, originally scheduled for 2020, was more muted in the MetalSucks community than I’d expected, likely a combination of the band’s core demographic and admittedly tangential-at-best relevance to metal. But the tour speaks to a specific variety of rock fan — Axl and I included — and perhaps a few of you out there do care, so… the tour has been rescheduled and is now set to kick off in July.
The trek will celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Black Crowes’ 1990 debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, and will feature the band playing the record in full followed by a set of other hits.
The Robinson brothers debuted their band lineup for the trek at a surprise show in New York City in November 2019. No previous members of The Black Crowes or Chris and Rich’s solo bands were on stage for the show; the new lineup features drummer Raj Ojha and keyboardist Joel Robinow (both of Once and Future Band), bassist Tim Lefebvre (ex-David Bowie) and guitarist Isiah Mitchell (Earthless). Presumably that cast of characters is still in place for the rescheduled run, although that hasn’t been confirmed.
A previously unreleased song called “Charming Mess” leftover from the Money Maker sessions made its way online last year as part of a box set reissue.
