By Drew Carrano
Happy Birthday to Rich Robinson! The rocker and founding member of The Black Crowes turns 51 on Sunday, May 24th.
To celebrate, we look back at an intimate, acoustic concert outside Boston, right before the COVID-19 pandemic, featuring Rich and his older brother Chris Robinson going under the name “Brothers of a Feather.”
Brothers of a Feather
An Acoustic Evening featuring Chris and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes
Brothers of a Feather Tour 2020
Wednesday February 19, 2020
Brighton Music Hall – Allston, MA
About The Tour:
Brothers Chris and Rich Robinson announced a string of acoustic shows ahead of their Black Crowes reunion tour, which was originally scheduled to happen in the summer 2020 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, “Shake Your Money Maker.”
Together the siblings went as “Brothers of a Feather” and played a brief one-month tour in small iconic clubs.
After a pair of performances in London and Amsterdam, respectively, Chris and Rich headed to the United States to kick off the North American portion of the tour. The first gig in the states was held at Brighton Music Hall, located just outside of Boston. The crowd of 500 or so, which included celebrities like Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band and invited guests, enjoyed a 13-song, 90-minute set that featured Black Crowes classics and a Little Feat cover to close the show.
Below is the setlist from the Brothers of a Feather performance at Brighton Music Hall on February 19, 2020.

Throwback Concert: The Rolling Stones at Gillette Stadium 2019
By Drew Carrano
COVID-19 isn’t stopping The Rolling Stones. Though their summer stadium tour has been put on hold, The Stones are banging out new material, including their brand new single, “Living In A Ghost Town,” which you can listen to here.
Today we look back at The Stones “No Filter” 2019 Tour that came to Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts last summer.
The Rolling Stones
No Filter 2019 Tour
Special Guest: Gary Clark Jr.
Sunday July 7, 2019
Gillette Stadium – Foxborough, MA
About The Tour:
In 2019, The Rolling Stones announced its next leg of the “No Filter” Tour that would play 17-dates at stadiums across North America. Soon after the announcement, it was revealed that Mick Jagger would need to receive medical treatment to replace a valve in his heart. This forced The Stones to postponed the tour.
After a speedy recovery by Mick, The Stones announced the tour would resume on June 21, 2019 at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The show at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, originally scheduled for June 8th, would happen on Sunday July 7, 2019 with special guest Gary Clark Jr. The sold out crowd of 50,000 people rocked out to a two-hour Stones show that featured 20 songs, including a song voted by the fans (She’s So Cold), a short acoustic set, two songs sung by Keith Richards and enough pyrotechnics to light up the Massachusetts sky.
