"Since its 2009 formation, the small-town quintet known as Alabama Shakes has delivered a swampy blues rock that has taken the mainstream Southern rock genre by storm. The Athens, AL, outfit, comprised of frontwoman/guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, bassist Zac Cockrell, keyboardist Ben Tanner and drummer Steve Johnson, has released one album, 2012's "Boys & Girls." The ATO Records debut moved all the way to No. 8 on The Billboard 200 and has sold more than half a million copies to date. A sophomore set which the band spent the fall of 2013 working on may surface sometime in 2014.
Howard's powerful vocals have drawn comparisons to Janis Joplin, while the driving soul of the band's music has earned them famous fans like Jack White and Drive-By Truckers' singer Patterson Hood. While the humble group has played support sets on tour with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Mumford and Sons, ticket sales for their coast-to-coast headlining concerts has been high. Not to mention festival appearances at Bonnaroo Music Festival, Newport Folk Festival and Lollapaloozas in Brazil and Chile."
I left this show feeling honored to have witnessed such a display of raw talent. It was a great crowd and Alabama Shakes seemed genuinely happy to be playing up in Canada. As long as they don't play in a festival I will see them over and over and over again. They are worth all your ticket money and then some!! They are the kind of band that sounds just as good if not better live.
Great show heart felt performance perfect weather window for an outside show.he voice filled the park
Rain held off until the last 10 minutes. Alabama Shakes shook the audience and had everyone dancing. I was really happy that I didn't miss Kurt Vile, a band I was unfamiliar with but now own one cd because they were awesome.
Awesome band. They are all talented and pull off a good live performance. They seem to have many incredible influences... They played two new songs but did not say anything about them - one was incredible! Their favourite song on sound and colour is also one of mine and was played last... Just buy their albums and see them live next time round you will not be dissappointed!
This was my first time seeing Alabama Shakes in person, and they pulled an amazing show! I've watched a few of their live performances on youtube, but it's nothing compared to seeing them in person. They should come to Toronto more often!
This group sounds just as good Live as on albums. Passionate singing with a great crowd.
Alabama Shakes put on a fantastic show. The opening band July Talk were excellent
2ND time to see this incredible group. Brittany Howard is the new Aretha. Such vocal range and power -oh she plays guitar too!! A fantastic group to see live.
Amazing show. In fact 2 shows-July Talk opening was almost at the same level with Alabama Shakes. Btw Brittany rules. The best band and record of the year.
Compared to the CDs the sound was way below what I expected. Also had two idiots who decided to stand the entire concert in from of us despite having a great view while seating. Ushers did nothing despite several complaints. Several people left half way through as a result.
