Band

Few places have defined the sound of the American South as much as the state of Alabama, and few bands manage to combine good old-fashioned greasy soul with genuine R&B as much as Alabama Shakes.

With the debut album Boys & Girls on the move from hype to hit lists, the quartet from Athens, Alabama prove that their musical intensity and sense of tradition have far from suffered from the fact that they are one of the hottest bands at the moment. 

Singer and guitarist Brittany Howard has already been named the next big queen of rock, so don’t miss a tasteful and swinging bite of the South.
