Alabama Shakes - Dynamic Blues & Garage-rock
12:28 PM
Alabama Shakes is an American rock band formed in Athens, Alabama, United States in 2009. The lead singer,Brittany Howard, did a lot of that as a kid, spending weekends in her room experimenting with instruments and a tape recorder, making up lyrics and layering sounds, unconsciously preparing herself for a life now consumed by music.
Her taste in music was considerably more esoteric than the typical teen in a small-town northern Alabama high school. “I spent a lot of time with my grandmother’s music: Dion, the Platters, the Drifters, the Temptations – I grew up on that,” she says. Later she discovered T. Rex and David Bowie, and got her education in roots music from Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones albums.
Band Members:
Brittany Howard - Lead Singer
Heath Fogg - Guitarist
Zac Cockrell - Bassist
Steve Johnson - Drummer
