Alabama Shakes

Athens, AL, quartet Alabama Shakes has made it clear it is here neither to impart bedroom-conceptualized innovation nor to expound a straightforward revival of past genres—instead, the group plays timeless Southern soul made fresh by an infusion of energetic rock & roll, as buoyed by the tremendous vocals of Brittany Howard. Catch tunes from their sophomore album, Sounds & Color, to hear chart-stopping hits permeate the Greek Theatre. Local darlings Dawes open.
