                                <description><![CDATA[The Concert Band &#38; Soldiers&#8217; Chorus are the oldest and largest of The U.S. Army Field Band&#8217;s performing components. Founded in 1946 and 1957 respectively, these two ensembles combine to present joint concerts on their national tours. They have performed in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries for audiences totaling hundreds of millions. The 60-member Concert Band and 29-member Soldiers&#8217; Chorus perform regularly in some of the most famous concert halls in the world, and just as often in the humblest auditoriums in the smallest of communities. The joining of these two ensembles allows them to offer unparalleled versatility of programming, ranging from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches, jazz classics, and Broadway musicals. The band and chorus also perform independently, and have recently shared the stage with such ensembles as the Boston Pops, the Cincinnati Pops, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra. In addition to their national tours, formal concerts, chamber recitals, and educational outreach, members of the Concert Band &#38; Soldiers&#8217; Chorus frequently represent the Army at formal and ceremonial functions, including the Presidential Inaugural Parade, presidential funerals, the Army All-American Bowl, and diplomatic efforts overseas.]]></description>

Soul man. Rock and roller. Robert Cray is all these things&#8211;and more. From forming a teenage garage band, through to striding the stage alongside several of the world&#8217;s greatest guitarists, Robert Cray has sold millions of albums and countless concert tickets, won five Grammy Awards, was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, is the recipient of the Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award, and has designed two signature model Fender guitars&#8211;yet for Robert what&#8217;s always mattered most is the music. Robert Cray has shared stage and/or studio with the likes of Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Stevie Ray Vaughan and more. in 1978 he was cast (as a musician) in Animal House, the blockbuster comedy that made John Belushi famous. 1978 was also the year Cray recorded his debut album, Who&#8217;s Been Talkin&#8217;. Cray&#8217;s 1983 album Bad Influence established him internationally. Signing to Mercury Records, Cray&#8217;s 1986 album Strong Persuader ensured he became the first blues/soul musician to breakthrough in the MTV era. That album led to Cray gracing the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, winning the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Recording in 1988, and supporting Tina Turner joining her on stage every night and touring with The Rolling Stone. Across five decades Robert Cray has created a richly inclusive American music, revitalizing both blues and soul while rocking hard with the very best.
