Blues
The Robert Cray Band

Friday, August 14 , 8:00 PM
Buy Tickets: $27-$57
FTC Members: $5-$10 Discount  
Doors Open at 7:00 PM

From landing an uncredited roll in '78 as the bass player in Otis Day's band in Animal House to touring the world with Eric Clapton in '06-'07, Robert Cray's good time, uptown, low-down blues guitar artistry has been at the forefront of the music entertainment industry for over 30 years. Known for his fiercely physical guitar playing, Cray never holds back on stage. It should come as no surprise when he bends and twists his face and body just as far as his strings. With his blues moves, it's as if he's just as surprised as the audience when ripping open classic blues riffs or when hitting a soulful vocal high. You can listen to all their studio albums, read all about their Grammy's, but with the Robert Cray band, the intensity can only truly be found at a live show. In ways that trump Derek Trucks' Klein performance in '07, you can truly count on seeing a guitar wizard at the Klein on the August date.

Reggae
The Wailers

Thursday, August 27 , 8:00 PM
Buy Tickets: $22-$27
FTC Members: $5 Discount  
Doors Open at 7:00 PM

Hailing from the original reggae trenches of Jamaica, the Wailers have always been a source of musical positivity and excitement. Best known as Bob Marley's backing band, they are still the world's most authentic and recognizable roots reggae band of all time. Marley's lyrics have always been central to their sound, but the subtle instrumentation that surrounds a Wailers groove still cannot be replicated. Today, original member Aston "Familyman" Barrett and new lead singer Elan Atias lead the band. Bone-shattering bass, clean and classic drums, sharp guitar and smooth spiritual lyrics - it all remains intact. Going beyond preserving the legacy, today's Wailers ignite the Marley soul within us all. No other band can claim to do this because no other band can.

Rock
The Black Crowes

Tuesday, September 08 , 8:00 PM
Buy Tickets: $44.50-$49.50
FTC Members: $5 Discount  
Doors Open at 7:00 PM

Hailed by UK's Melody Maker as "the most rock 'n roll rock 'n roll band in the world," The Black Crowes are coming to the Klein to show the Fairfield area how it's done. Their uncompromising, straight-ahead rock sound is as rare today as it was when they started in 1990, and no other band - not even their forefathers The Faces, The Rolling Stones or the Allman Brothers Band - can hold a candle to the blues power and rock excellence of a live Crowes show. Led by Chris and Rich Robinson, a brotherly duo heavily influenced by everything blues and rock 'n roll, Rolling Stone's album reviews have never dipped below three stars, recently saying about 2008's Warpaint, they still "Draw from the same well of American roots music that inspired all those Brits in the Sixties." Known for putting on absolutely epic shows at the world's best theaters, including New York's Hammerstein Ballroom and San Fransisco's Fillmore Auditorium, a Black Crowes show at the Klein will surely enter and remain in the FTC history books for years to come.
