DATE:  MAY 5, 2005
FROM:  MITCH SCHNEIDER/TODD BRODGINSKI/LATHUM NELSON
 

CHRIS and RICH ROBINSON of THE BLACK CROWES rolled out a surprise for their fans Thursday night (May 5) at the first of four sold-out shows at the Tabernacle in their Atlanta hometown.  The gig marked the return of THE BLACK CROWES’ original drummer, STEVE GORMAN, who has rejoined the band.

After having recently performed for 22,000 fans over seven sold-out nights in New York City, the group embarked on a leg of headlining gigs.  These shows will run through May 29, plus a stop at the Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, TN on June 11 and a run of five sold-out shows in San Francisco at The Fillmore on August 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10.  THE BLACK CROWES will also head out for a run of dates with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers beginning June 7 through August 30.

THE BLACK CROWES–Chris Robinson (vocals), Rich Robinson (guitars), Marc Ford (guitars), Eddie Hawrysch (keyboards), Sven Pipien (bass) and Steve Gorman (drums)–took a hiatus in October ’01, but have returned and are performing wide-ranging set lists that alternate every night, encompassing BLACK CROWES songs from their six studio albums, plus b-sides and unreleased material, alongside 19 special covers that illuminated the band’s rich musical heritage.
