The Chris Robinson Brotherhood Announce Bluesfest Sideshows

Former Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson and his band, The Brotherhood, have announced that they are among the acts unveiling Byron Bay Bluesfest sideshows today.

The three-year-old Californian outfit will be making their maiden voyage Down Under for the Bluesfest trip, so it makes sense to take a little extra time to put on headline shows in both Melbourne and Sydney — they'll play The Corner on Saturday, April 4, and the Metro Theatre on Monday, April 6, respectively.

The band recently released their third studio full-length, Phosphorescent Harvest, which marks something of a sonic turning point for the band, and finds them an exciting prospect for existing and prospective fans alike when they touch down in 2015. Get a taste of what you're in for below.

Tickets for The Chris Robinson Brotherhood's Bluesfest sideshows will go on sale at 9am on Monday, October 13. Check the Gig Guide or see The Music App for more booking details.
