The Black Crowes formed in 1995 performing classic rock music for the infamous Atlanta Georgia music scene. The driving force behind the Black Crowes has always been the two brothers, Chris and Rich Robinson, and their early love for music. In 1989, the band recorded a demo and was able to land a recording contract with American Recordings and released their debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, in 1990. The album was an instant success and produced such hits as “Hard to Handle,” “She Talks to Angels,” and “Jealous Again.” Shake Your Money Maker was certified platinum in 1995 with sales of more than 5 million records.

The Black Crowes, having established themselves in the classic rock genre with their debut album, released a second album in 1992, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. That album also sold millions, thus proving that the Black Crowes had the talent and stamina to maintain their popularity. Throughout the 90’s, the Black Crowes toured extensively with other heavy hitting rock acts like Aerosmith and Tom Petty. The Black Crowes concert tickets and live shows began to sell out across the nation increasing the demand for their music and by 2000; they had sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.

Taking some time off in the new millennium, both brothers pursued solo careers and began to experiment with their music. But the hiatus ended in 2004, when the band reunited for five shows in New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. Those shows sold out so quickly that they added several venues across the country, which also sold out as well. Later, in 2005, the Black Crowes joined up with Tom Petty for a summer tour and are headed back to the studio in the fall of 2005 to produce another album. They have been a staple in the rock genre for the past 15 years and many fans are eagerly awaiting the release of their next album and hoping for a tour afterward.
