The Black Crowes at The Louisville Palace

The Grammy-nominated Black Crowes have added new dates to their 2025 calendar of events. With their inaugural Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination underway, the band led by brothers Chris (vocals) and Rich Robinson (guitar), with Sven Pipien on bass, will take on a national romp beginning in Boston this last week of May. Their last stop before the Illinois State Fair and The Joe Perry Project lands them at the Louisville Palace, Kentucky, on Friday, August 8, an electrifying show from over two dozen dates of non-stop rock in North America!

Atlanta’s Black Crowes are intensity incarnate, synonymous with the high-tension hard rock that’s been a hallmark along jam band circuits. Since their five-time Platinum debut album, Shake Your Money Maker (1990), which featured the Top 40 single “She Talks to Angels,” this sibling-fronted act dominates the scene with a vengeance and a loose, intoxicating swagger. Live in concert, they bring you such interminably pumped-up songs as “Seeing Things” and “Twice as Hard,” not to mention an iconic, chart-topping rendition of Otis Redding’s “Hard to Handle.” Their sets often include Mainstream Rock favorites from their number-one album, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (1992) — “Remedy,” “Sting Me,” and “Thorn in My Pride” — interspersed with eclectic deep cuts and sleeper hits through the decades. 

But here’s the thing. In Spring 2024, the group released their first album in almost 15 years, titled Happiness Bastards. It unleashed Top 40 Rock headbangers “Bedside Manners” and “Wanting and Waiting” alongside “Wilted Rose” (feat. Lainey Wilson), their first collaborative single. The Crowes sold out an eponymous tour supporting this effort, and they’re itching to continue the trend to 2025’s string of concerts.

“Rich and I, we’re cerebral people. But when it gets to the music, we’ve only been able to get through this experience by the way things feel. And that has been the greatest gift,” stated Chris Robinson in an interview.

The Louisville Palace — one of the country’s most vibrant performing arts venues — will host the Black Crowes this summer, offering a historic backdrop of ornate architecture beneath a breathtaking midnight blue ceiling.
