what's up with the CRB?

Post by yesiamapirate » Sat Apr 09, 2016 8:26 am

I noticed that the only band member performing with Jimmy at the Masters was Mac. Also, his Chicago show says featuring Huey Lewis and the News and his other shows actually say the Coral Reefer Band? Is there something that I am missing?

That not unusual. Jimmy usually plays several special shows that will feature just him or will have Mac or maybe another member or 2 of the band. The shows with Huey and Chicago are shows where they are the opening act and Jimmy and the CRB are the headliners. It started doing that a couple years ago with Jackson Browne and Lionel Richie being the opening acts. This year he is doing a show with ZZTop as the opening act.

Just saw Huey Lewis with Jimmy in Charlotte last Saturday and they're awesome! I had always wanted to see them live and they did not disappoint. :finsup: :banana:
There are jobs and chores and questions and plates I need to twirl, but tonight I'll take my chances on the far side of the world
