Five-time Grammy-winning blues guitarist Robert Cray has delivered soulful riffs since his uncredited appearance in 1978’s Animal House as the bassist for Otis Day and the Knights. That blip aside, Cray has played alongside Eric Clapton, John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt among other notables and delivered a stellar week-long run at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2006. Inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame this year, Cray continues to churn out timeless songs of love and heartache, and this week you’ve got the chance to catch one of his critically acclaimed live performances in person, so go get your blues on, baby!
