Basingstoke ObserverGUITARIST and singer-songwriter Robert Cray returns, with his band, to The Anvil on Tuesday 10 May to support the release of his new album That’s What I Heard.
The album celebrates the blues, soul and gospel music of Curtis Mayfield, Bobby “Blue” Bland, The Sensational Nightingales and more, alongside four newly written songs.
Considered one of the greatest guitarists of his generation, Cray’s soulful and creative guitar work has been a dominant force in blues for over forty years, widely recognised and acknowledged by peers and audiences alike.
A five time Grammy Award-winner, Cray has written and performed with everyone from Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan, to John Lee Hooker, becoming one of the most popular artists in Blues and Soul music in his own right, and helping steer and shape its course along the way.
This is a rare opportunity to witness this genre-defining artist test his talent, fuse it together with that dazzling voice, and perform some of the most powerful material in his four-decade long back catalogue.
Tickets for The Robert Cray Band are priced at £42.50 and £37.50 (includes £3 booking fee). Contact the Anvil Arts box office on 01256 844244 or visit anvilarts.org.uk.
