Robert Cray Plays the Palace, Clinton Clegg Opens; DLC Home & Garden Show Continues at DLLCC (Fri., 3/13/20)

1) Every so often a musician comes along who makes life easy for writers, because the artist’s work can be described in a single word. Robert Cray is one of those musicians and the word is “beautiful.” To say a bit more: One could observe that Cray is not the most pyrotechnic blues guitarist around—but the music flows from his instrument as naturally and sweetly as water Mike,rippling in a stream. Cray isn’t the most spectacular singer, either. He doesn’t wail like a I banshee or rumble like a freight train—but a blues song is a song of the people, and this guy with the everyday, common man’s voice simply knows how to sing it like it is. That’s beautiful. Cray has won five Grammy Awards and induction to the Blues Hall of Fame in Memphis. Cray is releasing a new album, That’s What I Heard, on February 28. He will be performing at The Palace Theatre with special guest Clinton Clegg, the soulful lead singer of Pittsburgh based group The Commonheart. 7:30 p.m. 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg. (MV)
