The Robert Cray Band will make an
appearance in Portland, June 21, at Civic
Stadium. In my brief conversation with
Mr. Cray, he expressed a great interest in
Pot lland. Recently married in February
of this year to Sue Cray, he doesn’t have
a lot of time for other activities. How­
ever, time permitting, he and most of his
band members enjoy playing basketball.
Their new release, Midnight Stroll,
wil 1 be out in September and promises to
be a delight for R&B and blues listeners.
T he Robert Cray Band expanded re­
cently, featuring the Memphis Horns.
I hey joined the band approximately three
years ago and are a promising addition.
You can catch a preview of this new
material this Saturday at the B lazer Slam
‘n Jam at Civic Stadium. Don’t miss it.
For more information, call 234-9291.
