ALABAMA SHAKES Return To The Podium In 2026

Posted on by JL

ALABAMA SHAKES, fronted by superb voice Brittany Howard,
had a top-ranking period between 2009 and 2018 with 2 albums.

Afterward, Howard recorded/released 2 solo LPs, and also
one under the moniker of Thunderbitch while being in AS.

Last year they reunited for a couple of gigs and last summer
they dropped their first new song in a decade with Another Life.

No sign yet of a new album, but as they just announced several shows in
North America and Europe, Im’ quite sure they have more new music waiting
in the pipeline.

European Dates

07-01 Leeds, England – Millennium Square
07-02 Wasing, England – On the Mount at Wasing
07-03 London, England – Alexandra Palace
07-05 Ghent, Belgium – Gent Jazz Festival
07-07 Lucca, Italy – Summer Festival
07-09 Lisbon, Portugal – NOS Alive Festival
07-10 Bilbao, Spain – BBK Live
07-11 Madrid, Spain – Noches del Botanico

07-25 Eugene, OR – Autzen Stadium

Still their best moment to my ears.

Supreme Voice BRITTANY HOWARD Fuses Funk, Soul And Gospel On New Striking Solo LP ‘WHAT NOW’

Posted on by JL

10 February 2024

Supreme soul voice BRITTANY HOWARD, former Alabama Shakes
frontwoman, has her 2nd solo LP, baptized WHAT NOW out.

NME: “Her second solo record embraces any and all sonic possibilities and challenges with
glee. It’s the type of intent that’s been simmering in Howard’s work previously and now steps into space with confidence to be heard: everything from psych-jazz, electro-funk, soulful house and the occasional rocker gets a look in here. In lesser hands it’s a right old mess, but not in Howard’s.” Score: 4/5.

TUTV: Howard fuses soul, funk and gospel with striking effect with her supreme voice as the star in the middle, most prominent on highlights What Now, Another Day, Prove It To You, Power To Undo and Every Color In Blue. Different moods, different tunes. 21st Century Motown feel.

Singles/clips: Red Flags / What Now / Prove It To You

Posted on by JL

9 March 2021

Standout Alabama Shakes‘ voice BRITTANY HOWARD released her formidable
solo longplayer Jaime two years ago and got a few Grammy nominations for it.

She also covers songs of favorite artists now and then. Here’s a swing and shake
one of a golden oldie by the late legend Jackie Wilson. Her impassioned version
of (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher is bingo! She just released
it via Amazon Music.

You can listen here, after logging into the site. But seeing/hearing the new
Queen Of Soul performing the classic cracker live last year is so much more fun…

The glorious original…
