Alabama Shakes

Alabama Shakes have quietly emerged as the 21st century’s preeminent rock powerhouse whose uncanny brew of alternative, blues, soul, and roots is as intoxicating as it is inimitable. The trio—Brittany Howard [vocals, guitar], Heath Fogg [guitar], and Zac Cockrell [bass]—have garnered four GRAMMY® Awards, piled up billions of streams, reached multiplatinum heights, and performed to sold-out arenas and amphitheaters far and wide. Rising out of Athens, AL, their full-length debut Boys & Girls went Platinum, boosted by the likes of the Gold-certified “Hold On”—which Rolling Stone named “The #1 Best Song of 2012.” In its wake, the seminal Platinum-certified Sound & Color bowed in at #1 on the Billboard 200. It received a GRAMMY® Award in“Best Alternative Music Album” while the Platinum-certified “Don’t Wanna Fight” took home “Best Rock Performance” and “Best Rock Song.” Alabama Shakes have become firmly embedded within the fabric of culture, contributing music to Academy® Award-winning films such as Silver Linings Playbook and Dallas Buyers Club and performing everywhere from The White House to SNL. More than a decade later, the trio returns with I Must Be Dreaming—their most expansive, adventurous, and emotionally revealing work to date, balancing psychedelic soul with deeply human reflections on love, mortality, hope, and the strange beauty of modern life.
