SLCene Suggests: Chris Robinson Brotherhood at Park City’s Main Street

CHRIS ROBINSON BROTHERHOOD, LOWER MAIN STREET, Park City, Wednesday, Jan. 7, 7 p.m., free

Even if you’re not the type to go watch the FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup races at Deer Valley this week, you can still take advantage of their annual trip to Utah via the free concert on Lower Main Street Wednesday night by the Chris Robinson Brotherhood. The Black Crowes leader has fronted this side project for several years as a means to stretch his songwriting chops and scratch his jam-band itch during periods when his main band is between tours or he and his brother Rich aren’t getting along. The Brotherhood’s latest album, Phosphorescent Harvest, is a strong collection of classic-sounding rock, and Robinson is definitely one of the best frontmen of the past quarter-century or so among American rock bands. And did I mention it’s free? You have no good excuse to miss this one.
