All artists are influenced by the music they were exposed to in their youth or the sounds that poured out of their headphones during the recording process. Some musicians, though, take it a bit more seriously, purposely infiltrating their music with sounds from the past. This week, we bring you three new artists with old souls - musicians who are clearly blending their inspirations from another era with the music they create today. Alabama Shakes (@alabama_shakes) have truly [...]
Não é nenhuma informação oficial dos organizadores ou um furo de algum jornalista hype. A possível vinda dos americanos do Alabama Shakes ao Brasil foi anunciada pela vocalista e guitarrista da banda, Brittany Howard . Em entrevista ao jornal O Globo , Brittany contou sobre a loucura que virou a rotina da banda após o lançamento de seu debut Boys & Girls , superbem recebido pela crítica. Ao falar dos próximos shows da banda, que acontecem na Europa e no Canadá, a vocalista acrescentou o Brasil como uma provável parada [...]

Photo source: Facebook While this week isn't quite as promising as the last few have been in the world of live music in New York, visits from Jack White , Alabama Shakes , Hooray For Earth , and Great Elk , just to name a few, are reason enough to plan a night out.

It's official: soul revivalism is in full swing. If you've heard of Adele, or Estelle, or Amy Winehouse, or Duffy, or James Blake, I can't imagine you would disagree with that sentiment. What differentiates Alabama Shakes from the aforementioned artists, ... Continued
Day one of the third annual Hangout Fest went off without much of a hitch, even if it did feel hotter than low 80s. With the sun high in the sky and blazing, thousands of people funneled themselves into the festival's secondary stage area to witness Brittany Howard and her Alabama Shakes prove that the hype was warranted. Oh, it was so warranted. And while the crowd was sizeable at sunset for legendary rockers Wilco's set, it was nowhere near the depth of Alabama Shakes, and as the Wilco set progressed, people began to leave in [...]
Watching the meteoric rise of Alabama Shakes - formerly just the Shakes - has been an exciting trip this year, as the Brittany Howard-led quartet have gone from being an unsigned act with a few demos online and a record store performance clip to their television debut , sharing the stage/studio with Jack White, and now a supporting slot this summer for Neil Young in under 10 months. One moment, in particular, has an addendum we've been meaning to point out: "Hold On," the first single off their Boys & Girls LP, arrived as [...]

![ALABAMA SHAKES' BOYS AND GIRLS [7.0]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4281842_lg.jpg)
Let's be honest, country rock isn't exactly the most en vogue or adored genre out there, but that shouldn't stop you from embracing it - especially when a group like Alabama Shakes (@alabama_shakes) are trying to diversify their sound and blur it against other musical backdrops. On their debut, the four piece from Athens, Alabama take the stock ingredients of bluesy country rock and blend it with more soulful elements. If you drew a line with Creedence Clearwater on one side and Roberta Flack on the other, you'd probably find [...]
After last year assembling the platonic ideal of an outdoor festival in only their second go 'round - dropping a knockout lineup and perfectly sized crowd onto one of the best conceivable settings for a live music event - The Hangout Music Festival returns to the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores this weekend. The third edition offers another eclectic mix of arena-ready headliners, regional favorites and the ubiquitous electronic dance music purveyors, this time spread out over an expanded footprint that puts the fairgrounds on both sides of main drag Beach Blvd. Organizers have also dispensed with a schedule [...]
self-released, 2012 In the five plus years since songwriter Alynda Lee Segarra began the project, Hurray For The Riff Raff have always been a standout in the particular genre of waltzy folk-pop common among the groups of buskers and street musicians who've established formal musical partnerships in New Orleans. In a spectrum that is bounded by the delightful Bywater orchestra Why Are We Building Such A Big Ship? at it's most baroque extreme, HFTRR's country tinged ballads have existed comfortably at the opposite, more modestly appointed end. While the band [...]
In one hell of an amazing pairing, Neil Young and Crazy Horse will play a pair of shows at Red Rocks with the Alabama Shakes signed on as the opening act.

A true dream come true. we will have the honor of opening for our hero Neil Young & Crazy Horse at [...]

Le 2 mai dernier, l'objectif d'Hartzine était à la Flèche d'Or pour immortaliser le triomphe d' Alabama Shakes , chaudement accueilli par un public plus qu'enthousiaste. L'occasion de confirmer qu'en live, la prestation de Brittany Howard vaut bien plus qu'un petit détour. Photos

Yeah Okay, You're Right : So it's less than a month away now, and we've not said a word about it (yo, things got hectic around here!), but we're still very excited for the 'roo. You probably already know what Bonnaroo is, but on the off-chance you've been hiding in a cave for the past 11 years, there's a huge music festival that's about to happen on a lovely farm in Manchester, Tennessee from June 7th through the 10th. For a long weekend, music fans flood the small Tennessee town and camp out [...]
Through a V shaped crack, between two very tall people, in a heaving venue in the depths of Brixton, I saw Alabama Shakes play live for the first time. The crowd outside had been lining up for quite a while for this sold out gig. It was obvious that many people had come early to see the opening act Palma Violets , and the buzz about them was good, very good. When I say the venue was heaving, it was more like a wave of people swelling back and forth towards the stage, and filling every inch [...]
We're late to the party on this. So late. So late it's almost over. But it was such a good party that we're happy to just look at the piles of vomit, spilled peanuts and deflated balloons. Alabama Shakes have been around for ages. Like a few years. They're from Alabama and they like milk shake. We made the milk shake bit up. You may have heard Robot on Radio 1 last night saying he doesn't really like it, but Pigeon thinks there's something very exciting about them. We think it's like a [...]
Alabama Shakes Boys & Girls ATO Records 10/Abr/2012 "Una joya atemporal" Alabama Shakes se ha convertido en todo una revelación este 2012, amados y al mismo tiempo odiados por sus detractores quienes los critican fuertemente por robar el estilo antiguo que los hace merecedores de su atención. Sin embargo, no se puede negar que irónicamente [...]
Following South by Southwest, it appeared as if everyone suddenly kicked off tours everywhere. Chicago's Metro hosted some fabulous gigs (e.g. Wild Flag, Porcelain Raft), New York exploded with buzz bands, and California offered up two unique festivals (Paid Dues, Coachella). Our photographers snapped shots night after night, making April one of our busiest months on the live circuit in a long, long time. Naturally, they had a blast. Event: Wild Flag at Chicago's Metro (4/5) Photographer: Michael Roffman What Michael Says: "It [...]
