Alabama Shakes are an American rock band from Alabama. The band consists of Brittany Howard (lead singer), Heath Fogg (guitarist), Zac Cockrell (bassist) and Steve Johnson (drummer).
In September 2011, Alabama Shakes released a four song EP Alabama Shakes which gained them a huge amount of attention. This band has been referred to as a band to watch out for in 2012 and after hearing their material I would certainly agree.
Although I have yet to see them live myself, there is huge hype for this band and their performances have received some incredible reviews. I am going to try and buy a ticket - I would encourage you to do the same.
