Questions and Answers
About the Artist
Alabama Shakes emerged from Athens, Alabama, with a sound deeply rooted in soulful rock and blues, quickly captivating audiences with Brittany Howard's powerhouse vocals and gritty guitar work. Their debut album, Boys & Girls, stunningly topped Billboard's Independent Albums chart in 2012 and earned a GRAMMY-tinged spotlight, including the iconic single "Hold On," which Rolling Stone hailed as the year's best. The band’s performances fuse raw emotional intensity with a vintage Southern grit, often likened to catching lightning in a bottle — an apt description for a group that’s visited the White House and 'Saturday Night Live' stages alike. After a hiatus marked by fans scouring the internet for new hints, their 2025 reunion tour promises a return to the stage with the same emotional resonance and innovative spirit that earned their Grammy-winning album, Sound & Color, critical praise for its genre-bending evolution. Their music's enduring charm lies in its ability to meld classic soul with psychedelic textures, crafting live shows that feel both timeless and freshly unpredictable.
