When The Black Crowes began their initial run of Happiness Bastards tour dates in April 2024, I watched them like a hawk. You know, checked out the setlists, made sure everything was running smoothly, and prayed they would eventually bring the Happiness Bastards tour to Las Vegas. Lo and behold, they announced a second run... Continue Reading →
My Dream Setlist for The Black Crowes
Coming up with my dream setlist for The Black Crowes was incredibly difficult.

Are They Still a Band If There’s Only One Original Member Left?
Photo by Journey First of all, I know that it’s impossible for original band lineups to stay together forever. Band members fight with each other, some leave, while others are fired; simple as that. However, there are certain occasions where it’s hard to accept a new lineup with only one original member left, especially when... Continue Reading →
