Grammy winner Robert Cray to perform at Harris Center

News release

FOLSOM — Touring the United States for the first time since the 2020 release of the album “That’s What I Heard,” The Robert Cray Band will perform at Folsom’s Harris Center for the Arts on Saturday, Oct. 15.

“Funky, cool and bad,” is how Cray described the Grammy-nominated album, produced by longtime collaborator, Steve Jordan, who added, “I thought, if we could get this thing that Sam Cooke used to have, the kind of sound early Sam Cooke records had, that we could pull this off.”

“Robert Cray is not only making music, he’s making history,” writes Guitar Player Magazine.

Over the past four decades, Cray has created a sound that rises from American roots, blues, soul and R&B, with five Grammy wins, 20 acclaimed studio and live albums that punctuate the Blues Hall of Famer’s career. On “That’s What I Heard,” Cray celebrates the music of Curtis Mayfield, Bobby “Blue” Bland, The Sensational Nightingales and more, alongside Cray’s own songs.

Cray and Jordan go way back, having met during the making of the Chuck Berry documentary “Hail! Hail! Rock ’n’ Roll” in 1987. They started working together in 1999, when Jordan produced the Grammywinning “Take Your Shoes Off” and the recent Grammy-nominated LP “Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm.” “That’s What I Heard” is their sixth album.

“Once you start working with Steve, it’s kind of hard to get away from him,” said Cray.

“Robert is just a great person besides being an extraordinary talent,” added Jordan. “People gravitate to his guitar playing first, but I think he’s one of the best singers I’ve heard in my life. Not only because of his singing ability, but his interpretations. He’s such an honest soul in my opinion.”

Cray’s band features Richard Cousins (bass), Dover Weinberg (keyboards), Terence F. Clark (drums) and Steve Jordan (drums, percussion).

The show begins at 8 p.m. at Harris Center for the arts, 10 College Parkway in Folsom. For tickets and more information call (916) 6086888 or visit at HarrisCenter.net.
