Rich Robinson will reunite with former Black Crowes members Marc Ford, Eddie Harsch and Sven Pipien to go along with Joe Magistro, Matt Slocum, Adrien Reju and Katrine Ottosen for The Magpie Salute.

The new project will make their debut on January 19 at Gramercy Theatre in New York performing songs from The Black Crowes catalog, solo material from Robinson and Ford along with other tunes.

“The name The Magpie Salute comes from a superstition based in the UK,” Robinson said about the band’s name. “There are many variations, but the version I’m drawn to is the belief that if you see a Magpie, you would do well to salute it ‘to ward off negativity, or to have a good day.’”

Robinson also touched on the decision to recruit former Black Crowes members for the band. “I wanted to try something different. I wanted to hear this music with two drummers, two keyboard players, and multiple singers. I, and everyone involved, love playing music. Not only on our own, in The Crowes and in my band, but playing music in general. We want to make music again together with a fresh perspective.”

Pre-sale tickets will be available October 19 followed by a general on-sale October 21. All ticketing information is available here.
