SUMMARY:Robert Randolph & The Family Band
DESCRIPTION:Special Guest Jamie McLean Band
Thursday\, August 24\, 2017 at 8pm \nPepsi Rock Series
Powered by xfinity \nPedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph\, who is included on Rolling Stone’s list of 100 greatest guitarists of all time\, leads this Grammy Award-nominated funk and soul band. Many musicians claim that they “grew up in the church\,” but for Robert Randolph that is literally the case. The renowned pedal steel guitarist\, vocalist and songwriter led such a cloistered childhood and adolescence that he heard no secular music while growing up. If it wasn’t being played inside of the House of God Church in Orange\, New Jersey—quite often by Robert and members of his own family\, who upheld a long but little known gospel music tradition called sacred steel—Randolph simply didn’t know it existed.  Which makes it all the more remarkable that the leader of Robert Randolph and the Family Band is today an inspiration to the likes of Eric Clapton\, Carlos Santana and Derek Trucks\, all of whom have played with him and studied his technique. It wasn’t until he was out of his teens that Randolph broke away from the confines of his social and musical conditioning and discovered rock\, funk\, soul\, jazz and the jam band scene\, soon forging his own sound by fusing elements of those genres.  Randolph’s latest album Got Soul\, was released February\, 2017. \nTicket Price: Gold Circle Meet & Greet $65 | Orchestra $55  | Balcony & Mezzanine $45 \n
