LIVE: Robert Randolph & the Family Band @ Saranac Brewery, 8/5/11

The fabulous summer weather makes for a perfect time for a road trip, especially when there’s a big batch of hellacious rock ‘n’ roll and R&B at the other end of the journey.

Nippertown photographer Timothy Reidy jumped in his car and headed west on Friday, August 5, and he ended up at Saranac Brewery in Utica, where he caught a wailin’ show by steel guitar master Robert Randolph & the Family Band with Gary Clark opening the show.
