“The Black Crowes” After a four year hiatus from live performances, The Black Crowes, highly anticipated and long awaited return has been a success. Shows have sold out and The Black Crowes have now returned and redeemed themselves with fans. This band has been around since the early nineties and many of you will remember their debut album Shake Your Moneymaker, as well as rock hits including, “Hard to Handle” and “Remedy.” They have kept with their fierce and genuine sound and shared a stage with the likes of Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones. Free agents and playing the globe, these guys rock like no other! All five members are back and are coming to Common Ground to share “15 Years of Cosmic Rock-n-Roll” music.
“The addition of The Black Crowes musically rounds out our broadest lineup yet! From country to blues, rock, R&B, oldies, pop alternative and big band swing this is likely to the best Common Ground “Music” Festival ever,” said Festival Director Kevin Meyer! “The setting, the shows, the people, the food and the friends all add up to a great time! Oh and do not forget that it is seven days of fun for only $79 if you purchase by June 30, 2005. That is only $11.29 per day and $3.29 per act…what a deal, what a value, what a great place to live!”
