Jonny Lang and Robert Cray – A Great Combination

Nice to see that some of the newer blood – Jonny Lang is active with one of the more experienced members of the blues guitar scene – Robert Cray.  I’ve had the chance to see Jonny 3-times at different venues and Robert Cray at least that many times, often at the Ottawa Blues Festival.

They are appearing together at bergenPAC November 11th in Englewood NJ at 8PM, a show you won’t want to miss

Not only is this a great combination in terms of styles – the rough and powerful with the smooth and tasteful Robert Cray – but these guys could really feed off one another.  Robert Cray can feed off of Jonny’s energy and Jonny can tap into some of Robert’s amazing soul.

If you get the chance to see either one of them…and you have even a moderate interest in blues guitar, then get out and see them as soon as you can.

According to Robert Cray’s website, he will be visiting Southern Ontario, Northern New York, Boston, NJ and Indiana before the end of the year, followed by some California dates in the New Year.

I really like to listen to Robert’s playing because he constantly moves across many scales from traditional blues into major and minor scales always channeling his feeling and coming up with great melodies as he moves through his songs.

Bending, shaking and interacting with his Fender Stratocaster guitar, Robert has a unique sound that will infect you when you get out and see him live.
