Guitarist/singer Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney make up the blues rock powerhouse that is The Black Keys. The duo has come a long way from their early days recording in an Akron, Ohio, basement to their current ability to sell out tickets to a Madison Square Garden concert in just 15 minutes.
After their 2002 debut dubbed âThe Big Come Up,â The Black Keys developed an underground following which they satiated with intimate tours and new releases every couple years. The 2010 unveiling of âBrothersâ marked the start of their commercial success, as tracks like âHowlinâ for Youâ and âTighten Upâ received regular rotation on Top 40 stations nationwide. Not to mention the three Grammy Awards the group took home for Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for âTighten Upâ and Best Recording Package.
The groupâs most recent studio effort, 2011âs chart-topping âEl Camino,â incorporated surf rock and rockabilly influences which pleased many and earned them another four Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Album.
The Black Keys are kicking off a 2019 North American Tour called "Let's Rock" as a headliner at the Life Is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas, NV on Sept. 21. Modest Mouse will be touring with them on all dates. Openers at other select shows include Shannon & The Clams, *repeat repeat, and Jessy Wilson.Â
