Returning to The State Theatre this fall, The Chris Robinson Brotherhood are on the road in 2017 supporting their fourth studio album, ‘Anyway You Love, We Know How You Feel,’ and its follow up companion EP, ‘If You Lived Here, You Would Be Home By Now,’ both out via Robinson’s Silver Arrow Records. Tracks have already been laid for another new studio album and ‘Betty’s Blends, Vol. 3’ live release later this year.
Writing, recording and creating at a compelling clip, while performing an ever growing number of sold out shows across the U.S., Robinson is as energized as he’s ever been in what’s already been a long and historic career as one of rock music’s most prolific and successful songwriters and frontmen. Joined by guitarist Neal Casal, keyboardist Adam MacDougall, bassist Jeff Hill and drummer Tony Leone, The CRB (as they are affectionally known to fans), are on the verge of their most inspired and prolific year yet.

Exhibits
Anne-Marie Nelson
Through her line of handmade jewelry, Anne-Marie explores contrasts in
color, transparency, and texture through the balances between
function/art, simple/complex, rustic/modern, and common/valuable. She
channels her love of nature, music, and Celtic and American folk art
styles in combining porcelain, lampwork glass, upcycled materials and
precious and semi-precious stones and metals with detailed,
hand-painted shrink plastic and polymer clay pieces. Anne-Marie
enjoys every step in creating wearable, unique, and surprising
jewelry.
Janet Runyan
Through her "Rabbit Wars Series" Janet has created a
unique body of ceramic sculpture which provides a satiric commentary
on the evolution of war. Humor is used as a catalyst to provoke
reflective thought about the notion of rabbits staging battles and
creating strategic plans. Janet hopes the viewers will use the
whimsical nature of her work to create their own scenarios about what
the characters are experiencing.
Jean Giddings
Jean’s paintings and collages are the result of her love of combining
color, pattern, texture and materials, which she hopes evokes mystery
and wonder in the viewer. She feels she has succeeded when she has
managed to combine peace and harmony with energy and liveliness. She
often starts a piece without knowing exactly where she is going to end
up; serendipity plays a big part in her work.
