Robert Cray
Anyone else go see Robert Cray at the Flying Monkey tonight?
What a great performance he put on! Great singer, great guitar player and a superb band to back him up! Very impressed! Food from the common Man was served and it was great! Dan

I'm surprised that such a small-ish, out-of-the-way venue had someone the caliber of Robert Cray! I would have loved to have seen him.....you lucky dog!

I think he likes playing venues like that. I've seen him at the Hampton Beach Casino, Paradise Rock Club in Boston, and, during a crazy flash lightning storm, at Meadowbrook, before the pavilion was built--half the audience left, which meant our seats were instantly upgraded and, "unless this rain does something to the PA system," he played the whole show. Probably my most memorable performance.

Very jealous! I wish I had known. He is one of my favorites. Did he do the song, "Moan"?

I watch the Allman Bros. in the pouring rain under a blanket in front of the stage! Most memorable events were Ringo Starr and his all star band and BB King Birthday celebration!

Thanks Dan! Now I don't feel as bad about missing a chance to see him, that is my favorite song by him. He is a great talent. Wish I had been there.

Wished I'd been there.....one of my favorite bluesmen.
Did he do "I Pity the Fool"? Seen him do that song in a duet with Shamika Copeland and others and he always brings down the house. |

I saw him play at smaller venues (nightclubs) in Portland, Or. in the late seventies while he was "paying his dues" after beginning his career in Eugene, Or.
The guy was/is good: he hit the ground running and never looked back. |

Thanks for the heads up. Just bought mine for the wife and I. 20 feet from center stage. Won't beat the seats we had at the Joe Bonamassa concert at the Hampton Beach Ballroom, 2nd row center stage...But these will still be great.

Recently announced!
Robert Cray at the Stone Mountain Arts Center September 14, 2016 Stone Mountain is located in Brownfield, ME just over the NH/ME border and not far from the King Pine Ski Area so easily accessible from the Wolfeboro/Moultonboro side of the lake. It is a renovated barn that seats about 300 people and if you reserve early they'll also serve dinner! I just ordered tickets. http://www.stonemountainartscenter.c...bert-Cray.html Quote:

Treat yourself to Stone Mountain Arts
I can't say enough good things about Stone Mountain Arts Center. It is a gem venue in the middle of.....well nowhere! You will not regret going there to see one of their many class acts and the food is delicious too. I don't do big concerts anymore because there are too many A-holes shooting out what they want to hear. At SMAC there is respect and admiration for the artist. SMAC deserves music lovers support. I don't know how they make it in drawing so many talented artists but they do. Give them a try.

No regrets!
Last night was the big night for Robert Cray at SMAC. I can't say enough good things about the venue or the the show. I can't wait to go again! There is not a bad seat in the house. We were so close we could see all of his fancy guitar work. Impressive. He was very personable and engaged the audience and.....yes....the food was delicious. What a great way to spend an evening.

Robert Cray
Saw Robert Cray open for Eric Clapton back in the late 80's. Both amazing guitarists!

For those of you who have not been to SMAC, it is an awesome and intimate venue.
Who ever you go to see there will leave you happier as a result of the venue. |
