THE BLACK CROWES Inducted Into GEORGIA MUSIC HALL OF FAME

This past Saturday (September 11) in Atlanta at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, THE BLACK CROWES were honored by their home state when they were inducted into the Georgia Music Hall Of Fame at the 32nd annual Georgia Music Hall Of Fame awards show.

"This is the first time in 20 years that we've all washed our hair on the same day," noted singer Chris Robinson, who formed the band in Atlanta with brother/guitarist Rich Robinson and drummer Steve Gorman.

The band — which also includes guitarist Luther Dickinson, bassist Sven Pipien and keyboardist Adam Mcdougall — was inducted by legendary keyboardist Chuck Leavell (THE ROLLING STONES, ALLMAN BROTHERS) and performed a 15-minute set. The group played "Remedy" (a #1 rock track from their second album "The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion"),and Leavell sat in with the group on "She Talks To Angels" (a #1 hit from "Shake Your Money Maker") and their first-ever performance of "Georgia On My Mind" (the state's official song, made famous by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson).

THE BLACK CROWES is commemorating the 20th anniversary of its landmark multi-platinum debut, 1990's "Shake Your Moneymaker", with "Croweology" (Silver Arrow/Megaforce Records),their acclaimed first-ever double album of all-acoustic material with new arrangements of their best-loved songs and deep cuts.

The band will take an extended hiatus after its current four-month North American tour ends in December with an epic six-night stand in San Francisco at The Fillmore December 12-19

"Croweology", the first-ever double album of all acoustic material from THE BLACK CROWES, sold around 21,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 13 on The Billboard 200 chart.

In order to thank fans for 20 years of support, "Croweology" is priced at the cost of a single album. In addition, it is available on vinyl and as an iTunes LP.
