Sheryl Crow rocks All-Star festivities

From News 2 editor and rock critic Bob Ivy:

Brad’s blog travels and you never know if you are really safe from prying eyes and reviews.

This past weekend was St. Louis, under the Arch, for the mega-fabulous Sheryl Crow in St. Louis. Sheryl and her band (with special guest Elvis Costello) were part of MLB’s lead up festivities to the All-Star game tonight.

Crow, a Missouri native, performed the free-for-the-fans benefit concert to raise money in the fight against cancer, a disease she and one of her band members have beaten over the last three years.

Now a Williamson County resident, Sheryl brought her entire band, including TWO guitar players. So instead of the normal instrument hopping Crow is known for, she focused in on the vocals. It was a powerful set, almost two hours, nearly entirely focused in on the rockin’ older stuff that made her famous.

Look for Crow tonight at the All-Star game as she is scheduled to sing the National Anthem. Rock on!
