                   Los Lobos — Robert Cray

Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers

An eclectic evening of blues and rock with 5 Time Grammy Award Winner Robert Cray and Multi-Grammy Award winning artists Los Lobos. Opening the show will be Riverside favorite Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flyers.

Robert Cray

With 5 Grammy Awards, 15 nominations, millions of record sales worldwide, and thousands of sold out performances, rock blues icon Robert Cray is considered "one of the greatest guitarists of his generation." Rolling Stone Magazine in their April 2011 issue credits Cray with reinventing the blues with his "distinct razor sharp guitar playing" that "introduced a new generation of mainstream rock fans to the language and form of the blues" with the release of his Strong Persuader album in 1986.
Since then, Cray has gone on to record fifteen Billboard charting studio albums and has written or performed with everyone from Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan, from Bonnie Raitt to John Lee Hooker. Recently inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame at the age of 57, he is one of the youngest living legends to receive the prestigious honor. And while he can look back over an astonishing three-decade career punctuated by his trademark sound and distinct playing style, Robert Cray is too busy moving forward on an amazing journey that has him releasing his sixteenth studio album and embarking on yet another world tour.

Los Lobos

LOS LOBOS is a multiple Grammy Award-winning rock band from Los Angeles best known for their No. 1 hit single "La Bamba." They are a band that has consistently evolved artistically while never losing sight of their humble roots.
Many musical groups are eclectic, but few are both as unpredictable and successful as Los Lobos. The band has notched a number one single, won three Grammys, and sold millions of records. They've shared the stage with acts as varied as Dylan, The Clash, and U2. And they've received tremendous critical acclaim—from their major label debut, How Will the Wolf Survive? (which made Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time) to 2006's The Town and The City (which drew four-star reviews in Rolling Stone, Mojo, The Independent and many others) and on to the most recent album 2010's Tin Can Trust, which features two Spanish-language tracks.
Los Lobos are now celebrating their 40th anniversary as a band with the forthcoming release of the new live track album "Disconnected In New York City" on October 29th. Recorded live last December at the City Winery in New York City, the original members, David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas, Louie Perez, Steve Berlin and Conrad Lozano (with the additional help of Enrique “Bugs” Gonzalez and Camilo Quinones) revisit four decades of live music.
In 2013, the group toured Europe supporting Neil Young and Crazy Horse.

Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flyers

Special guests Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flyers are no strangers to the Fox stage or Southern California audiences. They form one of the best and most distinctive bands in blues today: fresh, swinging, tasteful, exciting and creative.
