The Magpie Salute - Comin' Home
THE MAGPIE SALUTE partnered [Jan. 5] with Yahoo! Music to premiere their performance video of “Comin’ Home” that begins with a tribute to the late keyboardist Eddie Harsch who passed away November 4, 2016. Eddie was set to perform with the band during their upcoming four night, sold-out engagement later this month at the Gramercy in New York (January 19, 20, 21, 22). The video was filmed in Woodstock, NY in August 2016 and features Eddie talking, rehearsing and subsequently performing the classic “Comin’ Home”–popularized by Delaney and Bonnie with Eric Clapton in the ’70s–with THE MAGPIE SALUTE.Watch the video here.
“This recording came from the last time I got to play with Eddie Harsch,” says Rich Robinson. “He was my friend and musical teacher. His mastery and subtlety will forever be an inspiration. RIP Eddie.”
THE MAGPIE SALUTE is an exciting new band that brings together three key members of The Black Crowes–guitarist/vocalist Rich Robinson, guitarist Marc Ford and bassist Sven Pipien–as well as members of his own band, drummer Joe Magistro, keyboardist Matt Slocum, and guitarist Nico Bereciartua. In addition, Rich has pulled together a fine cast of vocalists, including lead singer John Hogg (Hookah Brown, Moke), former Crowes singer Charity White and two additional background singers, Adrien Reju and Katrine Ottosen. From the start (October 2016), the band was embraced by music fans when they instantly sold out their first-ever show in NYC (January 19, 2017 at the Gramercy Theatre). When three more shows (January 20, 21, 22) were instantly added due to popular demand, they immediately sold out as well

Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
Looking forward to hearing what this group puts out - high expectations from me!
The Woodstock shows were fun, RIP Eddie. He's "ascending". I'm hitting the Fri & Sun shows, Looking forward to this, I'm hoping for new material in the months to come.
I'll be at the Sunday show.
When this bands lineup was first announced , I don't think John Hogg was mentioned. Could be wrong though. He played with Rich in Hookah Brown .
Hookah Brown- Bad n' Ruin (Faces cover, great song!!)
Hookah Brown- Black Cloud (Live)
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
Will there be a record??? I can't find any mention on his site. Is this just a project and we'll see where it goes?
What I heard I like alot. Hope at least it spawns a bigger tour.
