Musical sensations Alabama Shakes come to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre on Wednesday, December 4th, 2013 / 8PM
Tickets are on sale Friday, September 13th / 10AM
Alabama Shakes – comprising vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, drummer Steve Johnson and bassist Zac Cockrell – are based in Athens, AL. The group was named Best Touring Band at the Pollstar Awards, Emerging Artist of the Year at the Americana Music Association’s Honors and Awards ceremony and Best New Artist of the Year at the Triple A radio conference. Alabama Shakes was nominated for three GRAMMY awards, a BRIT and an NME Award. “Hold On” was voted the #1 Best Song of 2012 by Rolling Stone. The accompanying video has more than five million views and is in “Large” rotation at VH1. The track is featured on the 2013 GRAMMY Nominees compilation. “Always Alright” is included prominently in Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook, which stars Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and Chris Tucker, and can be found exclusively on the film’s soundtrack. Overwhelmed by the response they’ve already received, there is one perception of the band that they want to challenge. “A lot of people think we’re a soul revival act,” says Cockrell. “That’s an honor to me, classic R&B is my favorite kind of music, but everybody has their own influences. Brittany is way more into rock and roll—she likes things pretty amped up most of the time.” “Retro soul is not what we’re going for, though it’s understandable why people say it,” says Howard. “We take inspiration from that, but we all understand Black Sabbath, too.”
