Robert Cray brings the blues to Mohegan Sun's Wolf Den

Blues comes alive with Grammy award-winning guitarist and vocalist Robert Cray. His albums have reached platinum status and some of his most popular hits include "Smoking Gun" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark." Multi-talented Robert Cray is an artist of considerable scope. Considered to be one of the most expressive vocalists and impressive guitarists on the contempoary rhythm and Blues scene, Robert Cray draws R&B, rock, pop, and jazz with equal insight and authority. Cray grew up listeningto his mother and father's O.V. Wright, Ray Charles and gospel records, but he is also a child of the late 60's and early 70's, so there is almost a psychedelic rock feel to some of his work. Cray has achieved no less than six Grammy nominations and three awards, obtaining the universal respect and admiration of musicians and audiences alike. The Cray Band was taken under the wings of the legendary Chicago guitarist Muddy Waters who introduced them as his opening act. In 1986, rock artist Keith Richards invited Cray to perform in "Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll" tribute to Chuck Berry. Come early. Seating is limited. Must be 21 or older. Times and performers are subject to change.
