Kravitz tour coming to Foxwoods

Musician Lenny Kravitz is set to perform at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket Aug. 25.

He is on tour in support of his 11th studio album, “Raise Vibration,” available now on CD and two LPs in multiple standard and deluxe formats. The record promises to be one of Kravitz’s most eclectic.

“Low,” the song that got the whole process started, developed into a smooth funk showcase. The title track is lean powertrio rock, while the ballad “Here to Love” features Kravitz backed only by his piano and a string section.

“Johnny Cash,” inspired by an encounter with the late legend, is what Kravitz jokingly calls “psychedelic funk meets country.”

As usual, Kravitz plays most of the instruments himself, with longtime guitarist Craig Ross.

Lenny Kravitz has transcended genre, style, race and class into a 20year musical career, one which revels in the rich influences of ‘60s and ‘70s soul, rock and funk.

Kravitz’s talents as a writer, producer and multiinstrumentalist have resonated now through 11 studio albums into a timeless catalog. He has also won four consecutive Grammy Awards, setting a record for the most wins in the “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance” category.
