Black Crowes Members Announce New Band The Magpie Salute

(Classic Rock) Rich Robinson has hooked up with former Black Crowes members guitarist Marc Ford, bassist Sven Pipien and keyboardist Eddie Harsch in new band The Magpie Salute.

They're joined by keyboardist Matt Slocum, drummer Joe Magistro and backing singers Adrien Reju and Katrine Ottosen from Robinson's solo band.

Robinson previously told Rolling Stone that he'd been performing regularly with the former Crowes men - minus his brother and vocalist Chris. He said: "I just did three shows up in Woodstock, with me and Marc Ford and Ed Harsch and Sven from the Crowes. They came and joined my band and we did a whole bunch of songs together." And to mark the announcement, the band have released a short trailer. Watch it here.
